About this listen

A totally thrilling and addictive psychological thriller

Is the man you love a killer?

I’ve been married to my kind, loving husband Lachlan for over twenty years. He’s my everything. We have two teenage children, a beautiful home and I feel so lucky to live this perfect life. Until my best friend says something that makes me doubt everything…

She whispers it’s strange Lachlan has lived nearby to two unsolved murder cases. First, the murder of the woman in the small, Scottish village where he grew up and more recently the shocking death of a woman who lived round the corner from us. The thought makes my head spin. It’s just a coincidence, surely?

But at home, I can’t help but notice that Lachlan’s becoming angry, not at all like his usual self. It makes me wonder if he’s hiding something from me. It makes me wonder if he could be guilty. I push the thought away, but no matter what, I can’t get rid of this niggle of doubt.

The only way to find out is to go to Scotland and get my husband to face his past. But when secrets start to unravel in the remote Scottish Highlands, I realise the truth is more complicated than I thought, and more than one person could be a killer.

Now my children and I are in terrible danger. And coming here might be the last mistake I ever make.

An utterly addictive psychological thriller that will have you gasping out loud from the master of multiple twists and number 1 bestselling author Daniel Hurst. If you love None Of This Is True, John Marrs, T.M Logan and Freida McFadden you’ll be gripped by The Husband.

4/5

A quick-paced thriller, with lots twists and turns

Hated the writing style. Took many my husbands, my daughter. my children. Almost gave up on it. Also I couldn't stand Jen. Think she is a narcissistic psychopath.

Good story.

Listened within 2 days so pretty ‘bingebale’. I enjoyed it, no huge plot twists but it was a good time filler

Good listen

This is the 1st book ive listened to by this author, I bought the audio as I saw that Angus King was narrating it and I love his voice!
Loved this thriller, it was easy to listen to, maybe a bit unbelievable in some parts, but it's a story, so that doesn't matter really. The wife's character was a bit annoying at times.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will be buying another from thus author.

Great Thriller
