Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of My Lovely Wife, by Samantha Downing

Introducing the next generation of domestic thriller....

Every marriage has secrets. Everyone has flaws. Your wife isn't perfect - you know that - but then again nor are you.

But now a serial killer is on the loose in your small town, preying on young women. Fear is driving your well-behaved young daughter off the rails, and you find yourself in bed late at night, looking at the woman who lies asleep beside you.

Because you thought you knew the worst about her. The truth is you know nothing at all.

Critic Reviews

"The twist at the end of the first chapter made me read through the night. Clever. Manipulative. Dark. Disturbing. What more can you ask for?" (Jane Corry, best-selling author of My Husband's Wife)

"An assured and deliciously engrossing debut. You'll surely devour My Lovely Wife, but it will linger long after you've reached the last page." (Sarah Pinborough, Sunday Times best-selling author of Behind Her Eyes)

"You'll never look at your neighbors the same. I couldn't pull myself away from this story... Make sure you clear your schedule before you pick it up. Absolutely unputdownable." (Liv Constantine, best-selling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish)

Sat on the edge of my seat

Brilliant portrayal of a female psycho/sociopath & detailing. A page turner/ must read/listen. Narration excellent. Only reason for 4 stars was some outcomes were guessable - not enough red herrings but the story is beautifully structured. Reminds me of Millicent😉

Narration was great!

It is a thriller and one would definitely be hooked to it. The narrator has done a great job! The ending seems sloppy but I still would recommend it!

Must Read if you like Thrillers

Loved it!! A bit dark at times and not something I could hear before going to bed, but nevertheless it's interesting and keeps you guessing what would happen next.

Edge of the seat thriller but...

It's a great story and carries really well until the end when a lot of things are left unexplained. The ending feels a little rushed to be honest. But genuinely enjoyed the story and would recommend it to thriller lovers. The narrator does a brilliant job of bringing alive the characters, that was the best part for me!
