The New Wife

A Totally Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Twist You Won't See Coming

By: Sue Watson

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard

You can never truly know what goes on behind closed doors....

My darling son, Sam, is marrying his childhood sweetheart, and I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s grown into. Walking out on his abusive father all those years ago was the best thing I ever did. And today he stands, tall and handsome, saying "I do" to my dream daughter-in-law. If I hadn’t pushed them together all those years ago, he might never have found a girl as perfect as Lauren. It’s true what they say, mother always knows best.

But weeks later, Lauren is dead and police cars fill the driveway of their idyllic countryside home. As they question Sam, I sense he’s hiding something. Why won’t he look me in the eye? And who does he rush off to meet as soon as the police are gone?

Desperate, I do what every good mother would do: I let myself into Sam and Lauren’s bedroom. What I see, I will never be able to forget. My son’s beautiful new wife was hiding a dangerous secret. Can I clear my son’s name? And could my life be in danger now too?

A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us, and The Woman in the Window.

Keeps you in suspense

I love stories that take surprising twists and turns. This one does for sure! I couldn’t stop listening.

Narrator and Story Are Nailed Beautifully

I have been a fan of Watson’s for some time now. This particular story had some amazing twists. Straight on one character gives the reader focus as the murderer BUT if you listen carefully another comes into play.

The narrator is also excellent for her voice is melodic and soothing.

I definitely recommend this one for psychological thriller/mystery lovers and as a YA crossover.

I listened to all of it but …

It’ was ok but dragged on a bit and the main character was shallow and a bit vapid

Entirely too predictable

This story was OK but nothing to write home about. It really did not have anything that I wasn't already expecting.

Good listen

Good story with a twist at the end. This is my third audiobook from this author and all have been very good. Recommended listen!

The New Wife

Loved this book. It’s the first Sue Watson book I’ve listened to but it won’t be the last. Yes, the main character is naive & too trusting, but that didn't take away from the overall story because it was so good. There were great & unexpected twists. The narrator was excellent. I could listen to her all day. I highly recommend this book. I’m now a Sue Watson fan.

If you like main character being a single Extremely naïve woman, extremely naïve

Definitely not my cup of tea As I do not appreciate main characters being blind to reality, like a child not seeing what’s in front of her, so naïve is the main character shocked by the unveiled truth throughout the entire book till the end when she finally realizes her weakness in taking people at face value. The narrator‘s nervousness depicting this character was enough to put me off not wanting to Continue listening.The twists were interesting but drowned out by this Ignorant, irritating single woman With no back bone,totally absorbed in her son, her life.

Another great mystery thriller by Sue Watson!

Another amazing gripping stunning twist written brilliantly by Sue Watson!

This really has a twist you won’t see coming and the narration makes it just oh so perfect.

Loved it! Worth every credit/or penny depending on what format you use.

Worth the credit

I enjoyed this one. Couldn’t wait to get back to it! It’s so good to find a good listen!

The New Wife

I couldn't put this book/listen down, it was one of her best! I have read most of this author's books, she has the ability to keep you guessing to the end and this was no exception. I loved it and am looking forward to the next. The narration is excellent.
