Publisher's summary

"Mysteries drive this satisfyingly twisty tale by Hepworth, whose work may remind you of Liane Moriarty's...the effect is amplified by the talented cast, which includes Caroline Lee, who narrates Moriarty's audiobooks."The Providence Journal

Sally Hepworth, the newest breakout star of domestic suspense, delivers her next twisty novel about family secrets and lies in The Younger Wife.

Stephen Aston is getting married again. The only problem is, he's still married to his first wife, even though she is in a care facility for dementia. But he'll take care of that easily, by divorcing her—even if his adult daughters protest.

Tully and Rachel Aston look upon Heather as nothing but an interloper. Heather is the same age as Rachel and even younger than Tully. Clearly she's a gold digger and after their father's money. Heather has secrets that she's keeping close, and reasons of her own for wanting to marry Stephen.

With their mother unable to speak for herself, Tully and Rachel are determined to get to the truth about their family's secrets, the new wife closing in, and who their father really is. But will getting to the truth unleash the most dangerous impulses...in all of them?

Entertaining

I really enjoyed this book. Most of the characters were people I really liked and became fully invested in their lives. The narrators were excellent and the storyline is binge worthy! It’s worth the credit!

Great book for listening

This book is not weighty, even though it addresses some serious issues, but is exactly the kind of book that I prefer to listen to as opposed to read. Since I am usually driving while using Audible, I have learned that lighter entertainment, an uncomplicated plot, and a “page turner” is best in the Audible format. I’ll save more literary stories for actual reading. I’m recommending this book to all fans of Liane Moriarty.

Loved

It! I liked getting to know the characters. It was a slow build and I had a question left unanswered. Well worth reading!

Kept My Attention

Kept my attention for a few days one of the narrators was really hard to listen to which makes it tough. Loved Rachel and really connected with her character and story

It was okay.

It really could have not been drug on so long but it was a decent read. I think it’s good to shine light on domestic violence and why some women stay.
