Praise For This Book


"This might be the most gripping, insightful work from the best-selling author Alafair Burke yet. She poses a seemingly impossible, if undeniably compelling, challenge: a woman must either save her life or defend her husband, but not both." - Entertainment Weekly

"An intriguing, twisty psychological thriller, The Wife had me tearing through the pages, never sure which characters to trust. Smart, suspenseful, and absolutely riveting." - Megan Miranda, author of All the Missing Girls

"A subtly sneaky, emotionally complex, and utterly addictive novel of psychological suspense, The Wife delivers on all fronts. Burke always comes through with twisty plots and strong female characters, but she's at the top of her game here." - Lisa Scottoline, author of Exposed

"Alafair Burke always delivers. The Wife is a timely, gracefully written exploration of family, crime, and the current media-soaked, celebrity-obsessed, smartphone-crazed moment. Highly recommended." - William Landay, author of Defending Jacob "[A] page-turner... Classic domestic-thriller elements-the too-perfect couple, the unreliable narrator, the troubled past-are given a good workout in this satisfying round of 'Who's the Psycho?'" - Kirkus

"[A] roller-coaster of a domestic thriller." - Publishers Weekly
