About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Sorry.

Beth Lomas thought she knew her late husband. But this one small word, written on the back of a discarded envelope and left on their kitchen table convinces the police that Oscar took his own life. As the police announce they are not seeking anyone else in connection with Oscar's death, Beth is convinced that there is more to the story.

As she sets out to discover what really happened, Beth uncovers shocking truths about the man she thought she knew better than anyone. In their small town it seems like every stone she turns hides an ugly secret and it's not long before her own dark past begins to rise to the surface.

What His Wife Knew is an enthralling, page-turning mystery concerned with what it means to love, and the importance of female friendship in the face of the darkest situations life can throw at us.

Critic Reviews

I raced through this dark, tightly-plotted and satisfying thriller. Loved it!
Taut, compelling, authentic, and with a superb crescendo of an ending. With its flawed but strong and relatable female characters, the book is a true page-turner. I loved the last line, which for me summed up the author's talent in cleverly mixing emotion with just the right amount of dark humour throughout. A great read. Loved it.
'A totally engaging, brilliantly characterised read that had me hanging on every twist and turn. An absolute 5* cracker of a book'
Twisty, dark and hugely gripping
Cleverly written, page-turning psychological thriller with an intriguing plot and excellent characterisation
A twisty-turny thriller where it becomes clear that everyone is hiding something - right up to the chilling finale
Secrets, shocks and a marital mystery - darkly satisfying.
Impossible to predict with clever twists and gripping turns, Jakeman took me on a thrilling journey at breakneck pace. There was no way I could put this book down once I started!
