The Wife's Silence

By: Amanda McKinney

Narrated by: Elise Roth

She sits motionless in the corner, white-blonde hair framing her face like a halo, one finger tapping an endless rhythm on the leather armrest. 'This is Lucy,' Thomas says, gesturing to me. 'She's going to take care of you.' The tapping suddenly stops. Like a ballerina on a spindle, her head twists to meet my gaze, and her lips part into a silent scream.

Lucy Greer is at the end of her rope. Desperate to pick up the broken pieces of her life—and atone for past mistakes—she finds herself on the doorstep of successful entrepreneur, Thomas Caine, who has hired her to care for his ailing wife. But beneath the polished surface, something is terribly wrong.

It all began when the Caines' teenage son vanished years ago. The housekeeper has theories, the ex-wife has secrets. But Emilia, now trapped in her silent prison, knows the darkest truth of all. Now, with Lucy's help, the carefully constructed lies within thi beautiful home are about to shatter.

A dark psychological thriller about deception, vengeance, and the mask we wear to hide the truth. The Wife's Silence will keep you guessing until the very end. Perfect for fans of Behind Her Eyes, The Silent Patient, and The Perfect Marriage.

The characters-

This story has been on my mind. So many episodes of the series leave you and then surprise you on every turn. Yes, I would recommend this book to almost anyone.

Really Good - Awesome Twists

This story has been told in part before, but the author wrote incredible subplots and character development was outstanding. The pacing was good in building intensity as the mystery around everyone in that house only grew bigger. The twists were so awesome. I NEVER SAW IT COMING! Which added so much to the wow/shock factor. Absolutely loved listening to this one.

Narration was great. Elise Roth was able to portray each of the characters with their own unique voice and convey the emotional impact they were feeling.
