Two Wives - by Helen H Durrant (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Two wives. One husband. A deadly secret...

My daughter's latest drawing lies on the kitchen island and I smile as I see the three stick figures under the words My family. My husband Oliver left for work early, so it's just me and my precious daughter at home. Until I hear the sound of a removals van pulling up to the house next door.

Sneaking a peek through the blinds, my heart catches in my throat as I come face to face with my new neighbour - the one person I wished to never see again. Oliver's ex-wife, Carla, stares back at me, and the slight curl of her lip proves that she isn't here to make friends.

Oliver owns the house next door, so why did he let her move so close to us? And why didn't he tell me? What other secrets has he been keeping from me?

When I try to talk to Oliver that evening, he quickly shuts me down, telling me I'm worrying over nothing. But I know him well enough to see the worried look on his face as he gazes towards Carla's house...

Oliver is up to something. And so is Carla. But they don't know I have secrets of my own, and I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to keep them.

And, days later, when police race to our house one evening, you might think you know what's happened, but you'd be wrong. After all, nothing is what it seems behind closed doors...

An absolutely pulse-pounding psychological thriller, which is perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and You, Me, Her.
