The wife is always the last to know...

What if everything you believed was a lie?
Your life...your marriage…your very existence.

What if the person lying to you is your husband, the man who claims to love you more than anything in the world?

Isolated in his remote Scottish ancestral home on the pretext that you are psychologically fragile and recovering from a breakdown, this home has become a prison. As the days slip by in a haze of confusion and a cocktail of drugs administered by a loyal housekeeper, you begin to piece together the fragments of your life and stumble on a terrifying secret.

What if you discover you weren't his first wife, and nor will you be the last?
That he plans to replace you, to make you disappear - just like the first wife.
Just how far would you go to save your life and prove your husband's a murderer?

The new gripping read, perfect for the fans of Louise Candlish and Adele Parks

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Danielle Ramsay is the Scottish author of nine novels. The latest three are standalone psychological thrillers; the first was The Perfect Husband, followed by My Best Friend's Secret. The third standalone is the psychological suspense, The Other Wife, published in March and perfect for fans of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca.

Before writing psychological thrillers, Danielle wrote police procedurals. Her debut, Broken Silence, was chosen for a Northern Writers' Award. It was the first in five DI Jack Brady crime novels set in a small seaside resort in the North East of England. Her sixth police procedural was The Last Cut, a dark thriller with DS Harri Jacobs.

Always a storyteller, it was only after first wanting to be a filmmaker and completing a Degree in Media Production, then changing to an academic career in literature, where she found her place in life and began to write creatively full-time.

Danielle spends her time writing, wild water swimming, running, and beach walks with her Westie. She is also the Patron of the charity SomeOne Cares, a cause close to her heart, which counsels survivors of domestic violence, rape and child abuse.

Good Mystery

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024

The pain which the leading character is supposed to suffer from is what makes the story catchy and fascinating. I saw the development of the plot quite soon, however, the author has managed to amaze me, and I liked the story. The reader is blinded by obscurity. The cliffhanger was awesome and I was indeed on the edge of my seat. I read the whole book in no time. This book will sit well on the shelf of those who love the similar, though captivating mysteries.

Thank you to Boldwood Books, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

A lot of the narrative takes place in the main character’s mind which was disconcerting.
I struggled to follow the plot because of all the conflict.
Is it imagination or fact?
Some is revealed about the identity of the main character.

This was an excellent story. You were really able to express the symptoms of her head injury so well. One of the best books I have read in a long time. Thanks

This book was difficult to get through. I kept having to skim thru it. I am so sorry. I just don't like to start a book without finishing it.

Dunstrafne Castle - Scotland

Laird James Buchanan Langdon was once married to a woman named Isabelle who disappeared without a trace. Now, he is married to another woman and he plans to make her disappear as well.

She wakes feeling groggy and cannot remember where she is. A woman named Mrs. Taylor, the housekeeper, watches over her and calls her Mrs. Langdon. Mrs. Taylor tells her that she suffers from migraines and is taking a cocktail of drugs for her pain. She does not want to take the medicine because she wants to know what is going on but Mrs. Taylor always insists. She finds the she is covered in bruises and the food she is forced to eat is disgusting. Each time she wakes, Mrs. Taylor is there ready to repeat the food and drugs. When she asks the housekeeper questions, she points to a whiteboard that answers questions she has posed before.

Oh, dear. This book was so disturbing. Seeing the perceived mistreatment of this woman was irritating as it was repeated over and over. It made me angry and I kept asking myself why I was pushing myself to finish it. I think it’s because I gave a book of this author just one star before. I felt that if I did a DNF, that would be unfair so I pushed through to the end. As it is, again I say disturbing is the only word I can say about this. No. Not for me.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

My first Danielle Ramsay book but definitely not my last. This was intense and huge on the creep factor. Filled with tension and twists. Enjoyed it.

The same thing over and over; I just couldn’t get into it and skipped a lot. Also, several grammatical errors that should have been caught. Overall, I don’t recommend this book.
