I pick up the photograph from their mantlepiece and carefully wipe away the dust. The beautiful wife. Supposedly happily married and enjoying a family vacation. I know her husband killed her. And Iām going to make him payā¦
This is my first job as a housekeeper, but Evan Warner doesnāt need to know that. Itās the first of many lies Iāll tell him. He just lost his wife, Lola, and now he and his young daughter Jessica are adrift. But no amount of cleaning will rid this house of the secrets that have seeped into the cracks. I never forgave Lola for what she did to me. But I canāt let Evan get away with her murder.
In their impressive home, I busy myself preparing meals and peeking at carelessly discarded mail, looking for proof of his crimes. Evan hovers and Iām sure he is watching meā¦ even as I bond with Jessica. But whenever he catches us alone together, his face darkens. I realize I have to get her out of this house before itās too late for her, too.
Then I find Lolaās diary, tucked away in a closet out of sight. Her words, hastily scrawled on these pages, change everything I thought I knew about this family. As I hear footsteps on the stairs, I know Iām trapped. And Iām in more danger now than ever beforeā¦
The Wife in the Photo is a totally twisty psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night. Fans of Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Couple Next Door will find it impossible to put down.
