The Second Husband: A Novel

audioboek


A womanā€™s seemingly perfect second marriage is rocked by a discovery about the death of her first husband in this twisty psychological thriller from Kate White, the New York Times bestselling author whom Entertainment Weekly called ā€œimpossible to outwit.ā€

Recovering from the unsolved murder of her first husband, Derrick, thirtysomething Emma Hawke has built a new life with Tom, a handsome, successful, and loving widower who finally makes her feel safe again.

Then one day a police detective shows up at their house on the Connecticut shore, asking questions about Derrickā€™s death. Emma was sure sheā€™d been cleared in the days after the tragedy. So why is law enforcement taking another look nowā€”and questioning the timing of her relationship with Tom? She hadnā€™t even met him until after Derrickā€™s death.

Then Emma is shocked to discover that, in fact, she and her second husband attended the same business dinner two months before Derrickā€™s murder. Did Tom, unbeknownst to Emma, spot her there? Could he have set his sights on her and orchestrated a plan to make her his wife, whatever the cost.

With twists and turns all the way to the last page, this fast-paced, expertly plotted novel will have you asking that age-old question: how well do you really know the ones you love?

Definitely not her best novel. Nothing really happens up until the latter part of the book. Then itā€™s all far-fetched and too much to be credible. Donā€™t bother to read this one but go for one of the others she wrote.

I had some problems with the paranoia, but still an entertaining book.
