About this listen

An absolutely gripping crime thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from UK Top 50 bestseller John Nicholl.

What drives a woman to murder?

Twenty-nine-year-old Cynthia Galbraith is serving a life sentence for murder, and struggling with the traumatic past that put her behind bars.

When the prison counsellor suggests Cynthia write a personal journal exploring the events that drove her to murder, she figures she has all the time in the world and very little, if anything, to lose. So she begins to write, revealing the secrets that haunt her and the truths she’s never dared tell.

A note from the author: While fictional, this book was inspired by true events. It draws on the author’s experiences as a police officer and child protection social worker. The story contains content that some readers may find upsetting. It is dedicated to survivors everywhere.

A darkly gripping and twisty crime thriller to keep you up at night. If you're still thinking about The Housemaid, The Girl on the Train, and The Couple at No.9 then you'll be addicted to The Wife.
