About this listen

You think you know those closest to you. You are wrong…

A sleep-deprived new mother approaching her fortieth birthday, the very last thing Louisa wants to do is celebrate.

But when her friend Tiff organises a surprise party, inviting the entire list of Louisa’s Facebook friends, Louisa is faced with a room full of people she hasn’t spoken to in years – including someone she never expected to see again: her ex-boyfriend, Oliver Dunmore.

When Oliver’s wife Melissa goes missing after the party, everyone remembers the night differently. Someone knows what happened to Melissa, and Louisa is determined to find them. But the truth could be closer, and the deception more devastating, than she’d ever imagined…

A gripping psychological suspense novel, perfect for fans of Samantha Downing’s My Lovely Wife, Lucy Clarke’s You Let Me In and Linda Green’s The Last Thing She Told Me.

Critic reviews

"A pacy read, packed with surprises. Will keep you on your toes." (Jane Corry, Sunday Times best-selling author of My Husband’s Wife)

"The Missing Wife is superb: one of those books that keeps you guessing and keeps you turning the pages. I was riveted." (Alex Lake, best-selling author of After Anna)

"A gourmet read from start to finish - I couldn't put it down. Captivating. Exquisitely written. Exquisitely televisual." (Amanda Robson, Sunday Times best-selling author of Envy)

Disappointed with this book, very slow and the ending lacked imagination. I persevered hoping it would improve but didn’t.

Disappointing

an original plot but would have been better with sharper editing ..also more of what was the epilogue...about how it resolved I felt even the narrator who is excellent in other books felt it was a bit much

kept me listening but needed editing
