Critic reviews

An emotionally intelligent, brilliantly plotted and beautifully written examination of a very modern family that will keep you gripped until the end.

Something of a moral fable about modern relationships, this is a smart and enjoyable story

A moving read from one of our fave authors

The narrative dips back and forth with various points of view from stunningly drawn characters and I devoured it in one long sitting. Take this to the beach, or indeed anywhere — I promise you won’t regret it.

Prepare to totally forget about your family as you become immersed in someone else’s.

There are so many psychological thrillers around right now – but this is one of the best.

Wonderful, endlessly fascinating (Sophie Kinsella)

If you’re after grown-up, brilliantly written intelligent fiction, The Third Wife should be your first choice

Engrossing

Brilliantly plotted, beautifully written

Garbage

Truly insufferable characters, weak plot, and a frustrating/undeserved ending. Words cannot express how much I hated this. Narration was alright though.
