Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into, Spyglass, an enchanting old house in Hope Falls, nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that the stranger is his wife.

One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.

Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner called Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person's date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel, and as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.

My Husband’s Wife is a tangled web of deception, obsession, and mystery that will keep you guessing until the last page. Prepare yourself for the ultimate mind-bending marriage thriller and step inside Spyglass – if you dare – to experience a story where nothing is as it seems.

Don't mind me...I'm just over here with my unpopular opinions 🥴 I was genuinely into this one at first. The premise hooked me quickly, and I desperately wanted to know wtf was going on. But toward the end, it lost me. I was confused, and I didn’t love the direction Feeney took with the ending. Some of the twists felt off, and certain character choices didn’t fully land. I don’t mind an unpredictable ending, but this needed a bit more clarity to feel satisfying after everything it built. It's like Feeney had all these endings in mind and threw them together to make mush pie. That said, the writing was still strong, and the psychological buildup was done really well, I just don't the plane landed right with the ending. I do appreciate that it was easy to read and I looooove me some short chapters!

This book had me guessing the entire time! I liked the majority of the characters. There is one part I still have questions about, but I won't spoil the story! This was jaw dropping to the fullest! Definitely see that ending coming!

I just finished My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney for our Chapters & Chats Bookclub, and I have mixed feelings. The story started off a bit slow for me. At first, I was confused about how a simple morning jog completely changed her life was it just chance, or was it part of her plan? That uncertainty kept me guessing and added a subtle layer of suspense, but it did take a while to fully draw me in. As the book progressed, the tension and twists really picked up, making it hard to put down. Feeney’s skill at manipulating perspective and weaving secrets made the story addictive, even if the beginning felt a little disorienting. Overall, it’s a gripping psychological thriller, and I’m glad I stuck with it. Perfect for our book club discussions there’s so much to unpack about intentions, trust, and the choices that change lives.

Too many twists and turns. And I honestly didn’t like any of the characters.
