Synopsis:

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.

Review:

My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney delivered exactly what I’ve been craving in a thriller: something bold, fast paced, and truly unpredictable. The audiobook production alone makes this worth a listen. With a full multicast of voice actors and occasional sound effects woven in, it feels less like a book and more like a cinematic audio experience. Since the story unfolds through multiple POVs, the casting choice amplifies the tension and emotional stakes. It’s immersive from the very first scene, where a woman returns from a run only to find herself locked out—and another woman insists this is her house and her husband. It’s the kind of hook you can’t pull away from.

The story itself is wildly entertaining: a tangle of secrets, betrayals, competing motives, and twists that practically whip past you. One of my biggest frustrations with thrillers lately is that so many feel predictable, but this one had me genuinely shocked more than once. Is it plausible? Absolutely not. But is it fun, unhinged, and impossible to quit? Completely. I was never bored for a second, and every new reveal left my head spinning in the best way.

After not connecting with Feeney’s last release, I’m thrilled to say this one brought me right back on board. It’s a messy, high drama, twist loaded ride—and if you enjoy thrillers that go big and refuse to apologize for it, this is one you shouldn’t miss.

Overall rating: 4/5
