The Doctor's Wife: An absolutely gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller with a shocking twist

He thinks his secret is safe. But she knows the truth...

My husband is a doctor. He's smart and charming and everybody trusts him. Except me.

On the surface, it looks like I have it all - the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it's far from the truth.

Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should've been a fresh start for us both.

Except I've discovered my husband has been lying to me again. He's using the power he has in his job to mess with people's lives, and to get exactly what he wants - no matter who it hurts.

But he's underestimated me. I've had plenty of time, in this big, isolated house, to think about all of his mistakes.

And my husband has no idea what's about to happen next...

From the number one bestselling author of The Passenger, an absolutely gripping psychological thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists that will keep you reading late into the night. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl and The Housemaid, you'll be hooked on The Doctor's Wife.

Fern’s character is so complex and the way Daniel Hurst develops his characters is incredible. There were so many twists and turns in this book and I read this in 24 hours! Fast paced and a good series to start if you enjoy The Housemaid Series.
