Publisher's summary

We promised to keep each other’s secrets. Until they found the body…

The Wife:

My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can…

The Husband:

I’m drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me. I know I’ve got a temper. That I’ve not always been faithful. Will they think I killed her?

I think of my wife’s jealous streak, of the lies she’s told our loved ones. But if I tell the whole truth, they’ll look into her past. And that will destroy me, too…

Two people fighting for their lives. Two people with secrets to hide. Who will you believe?

A completely compelling and twisty thriller from number 1 bestselling author K.L. Slater. Fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden will be hooked by Husband and Wife.

Good twists

There were a few times when it was repetitive, but for a free option it was great.

One of the better KL Slater books

I genuinely enjoyed this book! It’s been a while since I listened to a KL Slater book and this one did not disappoint. Easy and fun listening :)

Fast-paced and Powerful!

I am glad that I said "I DO!" to "Husband and Wife".

This twisty well-written domestic thriller/police procedural kept me guessing from start to finish.

BEWARE! THE BOOK'S TITLE IS DECEIVING:
The book is NOT a domestic drama about one husband and wife.

Instead, it's a "Who Dunnit?" thriller that painstakingly delves into the lives of three husbands and wives in one family.

And one of the family members is guilty of murder.

Claire Corbett, as always, did a superb job with the narration.

4.5 stars.

Engaging

I really enjoyed this one. I figured out the whodunit early but that didn’t stop it from being a satisfying story. The excellent narrator really elevated the experience too.

Another one!

KL Slater does it again. Another great mystery with twists, turns, lies and deception. The revelation with what was in the box hit me like the accident at the beginning. I had to induce a comma before going forward. All wrapped up at the end. I loved the ending.
