Staff Picks: The Wife Between Us (Adult Fiction)

If you like twisty, psychological thrillers, you may want to try The Wife Between Us by  Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.

At the start of the book, we meet Nellie who is recently divorced. Nellie is emotionally very fragile, drinking too much, barely hanging on to her job and living with her Aunt Charlotte. When she learns that her ex-husband Richard is engaged to Emma, his former assistant, Nellie begins to do everything she can to prevent the wedding from taking place.

The reader also learns that something happened to Nellie when she was in college that forever changed her - making her hyper-vigilant and anxious. I can't reveal much more about the plot without revealing some of the twists. At one point, I had to re-read a page to ensure that I, had indeed, read it correctly.  It is definitely one of the "twistiest" books that I have read recently.
