The Wife's Silence: A Completely Addictive Psychological Thriller with a Heart-Stopping Twist

By Amanda McKinney

She sits motionless in the corner, white-blonde hair framing her face like a halo, one finger tapping an endless rhythm on the leather armrest. 'This is Lucy, ' Thomas says, gesturing to me. 'She's going to take care of you.' The tapping suddenly stops. Like a ballerina on a spindle, her head twists to meet my gaze, and her lips part into a silent scream.

Lucy Greer is at the end of her rope. Desperate to pick up the broken pieces of her life-and atone for past mistakes-she finds herself on the doorstep of successful entrepreneur, Thomas Caine, who has hired her to care for his ailing wife. But beneath the polished surface, something is terribly wrong.

It all began when the Caines' teenage son vanished years ago. The housekeeper has theories, the ex-wife has secrets. But Emilia, now trapped in her silent prison, knows the darkest truth of all. Now, with Lucy's help, the carefully constructed lies within this beautiful home are about to shatter.

A dark psychological thriller about deception, vengeance, and the mask we wear to hide the truth. The Wife's Silence will keep you guessing until the final page. Perfect for fans of Behind Her Eyes, The Silent Patient, and The Perfect Marriage.

Dark deeds in a big house

I had to keep listening to this audiobook because it kept throwing twists, shocks, and I had no idea how it was going to end but I knew it would be great! And it was. Jumping in between the past with Emilia meeting and marrying Thomas and the horrors she faced when she discovered the real Thomas which ends with blood, tears, murder, and culminating the disappearance of her son, James and her subsequent stroke/accident (or so her husband says) and the need to hire Lucy to help take care of Emilia. And if that is not enough, the other viewpoint being Lucy who finds herself in a viper's nest of intrigue, abuse, ex wives showing up, a housekeeper with her own secrets, and of course it is all under the iron control of Thomas. Never a dull moment and a very quick read as I really wanted to see of Lucy was going to make it out alive and how many bodies were going to end up in that big beautiful house located in the middle of nowhere and by the edge of the cliff. That twist was great and totally unexpected and it ended well with the survivors bonded by (as the author puts it) by blood and blackmail. It was a thrilling story to listen to on audio and the narrator did a great job in bringing the characters to life and all the dark deeds that occurred along the way.
