The Replacement Wife: A Psychological Thriller

By: Britney King

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

From the bestselling author of The Social Affair comes a twisted, unrelenting psychological thriller set in a utopian society where beauty is currency, perfection is power, and secrets are a death sentence.


Statistically speaking, fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. What are the odds for murder?

Widower Tom Anderson is a savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Problem is, one is a lonely number. Thankfully, he solved for X by finding the perfect woman. It wasn't easy. Tom is very specific. He has to be.

Having checked 'find trophy wife' off his list, life was moving along swimmingly. Until that perfect woman let it slip—she has a past. One she kept hidden, almost perfectly.

Sure, she lied—she fudged the numbers. Most women do.

Now, Tom has buyer's remorse and according to cult rules only two options: get rid of her—or single-handedly erase her past.

She's a liar. But she does keep house well. And she makes a mean lasagna.

Decisions, decisions.

Razor-sharp, immersive, and utterly chilling, this dark psychological thriller dives deep into the price of perfection, the lies we tell to survive, and the danger of trusting the wrong person. With pulse-pounding suspense, morally twisted characters, and an ending you won't see coming, this is a must-read for fans of cult thrillers, domestic suspense, and books that make your skin crawl in the best way.

Perfect for fans of twisty, fast-paced thrillers like You, Nine Perfect Strangers, and Gone Girl.

Could Not Finish

Story is interesting, but can't get past the dull Virtual Voice narration.

I've listened to many many Virtual Voice titles the past few months, this was not good. Monotone, no difference between characters, wondering how the author could approve such a poor artificial performance.
