The Wife at Number Nine: An unforgettable psychological thriller about secrets, marriage and betrayal

By Mara Halvern

Claire Mercer thought moving into Number Nine would be a fresh start.

A beautiful house. An exclusive neighborhood. A marriage she trusted.

Then she finds the photographs hidden inside her bedroom wall.

Some show a woman who disappeared from Rosegate ten years ago.

The others show Claire.

Driving. Shopping. Leaving dinner with her husband.

Sleeping inside the apartment she lived in before she ever moved to Rosegate.

Someone had been watching her long before Number Nine became her home.

And when Claire begins asking questions, she discovers something even more disturbing:

Her husband knew about the house before they met.

He knew about its connection to the missing woman.

And he may have known far more about Claire than he ever admitted.

Now anonymous photographs are appearing. Old records are disappearing. And behind Rosegate's immaculate doors, neighbors are hiding secrets they would rather keep buried.

The deeper Claire searches, the harder it becomes to answer one terrifying question:

Did she marry the man she thought she knew-or was their entire relationship part of something planned long before they met?

The Wife at Number Nine is a twist-filled psychological domestic thriller about marriage, surveillance, buried family secrets and the devastating difference between loving someone and giving them the truth.

Perfect for readers who enjoy addictive domestic suspense, unreliable relationships, hidden pasts and page-turning psychological mysteries.

Welcome to Rosegate. Everyone has something to hide.
