About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the outside, she has an enviable life: a successful career, stunning looks, a beautiful house in the suburbs, two healthy children, and most importantly, an ideal husband. After fifteen years together, she is still besotted with him. But she's never quite sure that her passion is reciprocated.

Determined to keep their relationship perfect, she meticulously prepares for every encounter they have, always taking care to make her actions seem effortless. She watches him attentively, charting every mistake and punishing him accordingly to help him improve. And she tests him - setting traps to make sure that he still loves her just as much as he did when they first met.

Until one day she realizes she may have gone too far...

With the surprise of Gone Girl, the bleakness of The Talented Mr Ripley and the sinister charm of the Netflix thriller You, My Husband is a bold and exhilarating story of passion and the dark secrets that lie beneath a seemingly healthy marriage.

Critic reviews

'One of the most daring, provocative, unnervingly intimate thrillers... Few writers besides Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith can evoke domestic unease with such sangfroid; fewer still can make it such delirious fun.' A. J. Finn, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

'The exceptional My Husband has everything I look for in a novel: chic, beguiling and deeply unhinged.' (Juno Dawson)

I enjoyed it but expected more from the ending. Also wish I connected more with the characters. It was ok.

One of the most interesting and unique books I’ve come across in a while. Perfectly matched narration. Sometimes it drags on a little but the payoff at the end is great

Everything worth it for the end

I can see this is a great portrayal of obsessive love and the twist was excellent and unexpected. I did find it dragged though, I wasn't gripped, despite being interested in the ending. Glad I listened, don't think I'll reread though

Very good for what it is
