The New York Times bestselling Queen of Twists is back with a psychological masterpiece that will leave you questioning everything you know about love, identity, and revenge.
Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into, Spyglass, an enchanting old house in Hope Falls, nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that the stranger is his wife.
One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.
Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner called Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person’s date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel, and as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.
My Husband’s Wife is a tangled web of deception, obsession, and mystery that will keep you guessing until the last page. Prepare yourself for the ultimate mind-bending marriage thriller and step inside Spyglass – if you dare – to experience a story where nothing is as it seems.

My Thoughts:
I’m a HUGE fan of Alice Feeney’s books. Every single one has left me gasping out loud, questioning my sanity (and the author’s) and simultaneously shaking my head in confusion whilst grinning like a cheshire cat because she’s done it again.
This mind-bending thriller explores identity, deception, and revenge. My Husband’s Wife is set in the eerie seaside village of Hope Falls and follows two women—Eden Fox, an artist on the cusp of fame, and Birdy, a reclusive Londoner with a haunting diagnosis.
The house “Spyglass” connects these two women and is almost a character itself as the mystery behind the house unfolds in an atmospheric and disturbing way.
I don’t want to give any more away, but I loved it and highly recommend it to readers who love domestic thrillers, unreliable narrators, and stories where nothing is as it seems.
