The Silent Wife: a gripping psychological thriller Kindle Edition

4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 5,024 ratings

A vanished wife. A crumbling marriage. And a web of explosive secrets.

Pregnant and living an Insta-perfect lifestyle, Sarah seems to have it all. But one evening halfway through making dinner, she vanishes into thin air leaving behind her keys, her handbag and James, her bewildered husband.

The pans are boiling over and the smoke alarm is screaming, but he is alone in the house.

Keen to get their picture-perfect life back on track before their followers start wondering where his wife is, James desperately tries to find her.

But her sister Kate is the only one who knows Sarah has run like this before. And she's terrified for her sibling and for the unborn child she is carrying.

The more Kate digs for answers, the more questions she has about her sister’s life – it seems Sarah may have been hiding a terrible secret. Even more worrying, Kate is now having her every move watched.

Someone out there wants their deadly secrets to remain hidden. How far will they go to make sure those secrets stay buried?

The Silent Wife - a gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, K.L Slater and Daniel Hurst.

    I know I have never read this book ever before , however in the beginning the book held my interest and kept me wanting more but then somewhere around the middle of it it was like I had read this book before , either its a remake of some other work or something because I knew exactly what was happening and going to happen. Which was real weird to me.

    Kate is one of those women who has a husband that does everything his mom tells him to. She even lives in his mom's house. So of course they won't have to pay rent. Kate even works at his mom's company. So Kate ends up with no job, no house to live in when she gets a divorced. I liked the book, it has a feel to it of how women get stuck in a marriage of being held hostage in their own home. I recommend it to anyone getting married soon.

    I enjoyed the twists and turns of this book it’s not some thing I would assume would be advertised, and I probably could have researched the author a little more but some things in British lingo. I had to think about a few minutes to what they meant. All in all it was a very good book, although some details were left out about my characters that I would’ve enjoyed and I feel like a couple storylines were left hanging on an easy read that I enjoyed, and I will probably read something else from this author now

    3.5/5

    The book was definitely too long and slow to start. It did pick up. It was hard to like the characters. The twists and turns kept things interesting though!

    I had to read it in stages as at times the story felt too real. Beware of controlling partners! It would make a great series on TV.

    2.0 out of 5 stars a bit dull
    Reviewed in Canada on October 18, 2024
    For one thing, the overuse of the word ‘whilst’ is annoying in this story.
    The story was boring right from the beginning. But I never quit reading a book once I’ve started. The ending was predictable.
    This was far from a ‘gripping psychological thriller’, just my opinion.
  • Janet Hill

    This is a very twisty plot . Well written and readable …but ultimately…Lightweight . An easy read . Finished it in a day
