The Housewife
"The Housewife is everything I look for in a thriller: fast-paced with red-hot mounting tension. I was hooked from the very first chapter." - Freida McFadden
From the celebrated author of Finders Keepers comes a brand new, deliciously dark thriller about a woman who married the man of her dreams, only for him to become her worst nightmare.
***
Jodie always dreamed of being a housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence still looms over everyone and everything.
When Jodie learns Deborah became a recluse before death, she begins to suspect Roy was behind it. And the deeper she digs, the darker Roy's past appears-obsessive, controlling, unfaithful. Increasingly convinced he had something to do with Deborah's death, Jodie knows she should go to the police, but that would require revealing her own secret. A secret that could destroy her.
But Jodie won't be silenced. Because the truth about Roy is worse than she imagined-and now, trapped in a house built on lies, she must find a way out before she becomes the next perfect wife to vanish.
Natalie Barelli delivers a supercharged, addictive thriller that will have you hooked from start to finish-a must-read for psychological thriller and Freida McFadden fans.
