You can never truly know what goes on behind closed doors… My darling son, Sam, is marrying his childhood sweetheart and I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s grown into. Walking out on his abusive father all those years ago was the best thing I ever did. And today he stands, tall and handsome, saying ‘I do’ to my dream daughter-in-law. If I hadn’t pushed them together all those years ago, he might never have found a girl as perfect as Lauren. It’s true what they say, mother always knows best. But weeks later, Lauren is dead and police cars fill the driveway of their idyllic countryside home. As they question Sam, I sense he’s hiding something. Why won’t he look me in the eye? And who does he rush off to meet as soon as the police are gone?Desperate, I do what every good mother would do: I let myself into Sam and Lauren’s bedroom. What I see, I will never be able to forget. My son’s beautiful new wife was hiding a dangerous secret. Can I clear my son’s name? And could my life be in danger now too? A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us and The Woman in the Window.What readers are saying about The New Wife:‘I LOVED it!… Had my mind going in a million directions trying to figure out what was going on.

"The New Wife tells the story of Sam and his new wife, Lauren, through Sam's moms POV. Lauren and Sam grew up together, starting in their daycare/preschool years and have been together since. When a terrible accident happens and Lauren ends up dead, a mother will do whatever she needs to in order to make sure her son is safe. Lauren was the perfect daughter, so who would want to murder her?<br/><br/>A creepy thriller that had you guessing the whole time! I thought I some idea of who might have been involved in the murder. But then I realized I had no clue what was happening!<br/><br/>The narrator for this book made it easy to feel like someone was really telling you a story and you could see it all before your eyes as you listened.<br/><br/>There were some plot twists in this book that I did not see coming! I think the last twist really pulled the book together for me and helped to make it better. 5"
