About this listen

From the #1 bestselling author of Breaking Point and winner of Crime Novel of the Year at the An Post Irish Book Awards.

Who is the other woman? That's for you to decide.

Ann devoted years to her mother's care - and now she's gone, Ann feels lost.

Justin is also grieving but his wife is still alive. Deborah is in a coma and she doesn't have long left.

Ann quickly moves in with Justin and his little girl, making them the perfect family. But just as Ann settles into her new life, Justin's is turned upside down. Unexpectedly, Deborah has survived. His wife is coming home.

Neither knows what to do. But one thing is for certain: Ann has earned the life that Deborah left behind, and she plans to keep it . . .

Critic reviews

Edel Coffey is like an Irish Jodi Picoult! Her hugely anticipated second novel, In Her Place, examines "the other woman" conundrum from two different perspectives. It's propulsive, thought-provoking and unputdownable (Marian Keyes)
It's an incredible read of despair, love, hope and betrayal. I thoroughly enjoyed it (Liz Nugent)
Edel Coffey goes right to the heart of human relationships, examining what truly matters to us and how far we might go to secure our dreams. An emotionally complex, compelling and thought-provoking story (Jane Casey)
Edel's second novel is a wild and twisty ride - and, like her debut, guaranteed to get readers talking (Catherine Ryan Howard)
A thought-provoking thriller with a brilliant premise - this one is going to be a Book Club favourite in 2024! (Louise O'Neill)
Gripping! (Elaine Feeney)
With a brilliant premise and non-stop pace, In Her Place is a stellar example of dilemma-noir. Clever, fresh, dark and thought-provoking - I gulped it down (Andrea Mara)
A page-turning, twisty, captivating thriller (Sinead Moriarty)
Coffey's characters are authentic, flawed and human (John Boyne)
All stars

It was ok. Narration of the male characters grated on me, they all sounded as if they were very old men. The story laboured on as to what was blindingly obvious to the reader.

Not as good as the reviews (sorry)

The story didn’t go where I thought it would have and had lots of twists in there but entertaining all the same

Unrealistic but good all the same

I like this book and it had great potential but felt it could have been better. Great storyline but unrealistic in parts.
Where were the friends Justin introduced Anne to at a party to tell Deborah the true nature of Justin & Anne’s relationship?
Why did Anne’s family not see the news report about Deborah’s miraculous recovery?
Why did Sophie not tell Deborah she had been calling Anne “Mommy”?
Justin’s character whilst slightly unlikeable could have been fleshed out more to show his more controlling, manipulative traits.
Still confused as to how Justin died in the end, would have liked a fuller explanation on the exact situation from Deborah’s perspective.
Overall a good read and I would recommend, loved Edel Coffeys last book

Good but not great
