The Wife's Revenge : An unputdownable psychological thriller full of shocking twists

Tell a lie once, and all your truths begin to crumble one by one…

Fran made the biggest mistake of her life when she had an affair with Ben. Both their families live in the small, tight-knit town of Oakheart, and their daughters are the best of friends. The relationship is over, but her guilt haunts her every waking moment. She tries to push it down, but it's always there, simmering just beneath the surface.

Fran has managed to keep the truth hidden from her husband… so far. But the cracks in their marriage are starting to show. Meanwhile, Ben and his wife Tessa seem stronger than ever, though Fran knows that things aren't always as they appear. When Tessa begins trying to get closer to Fran, she’s scared – scared of what Tessa might do, of what she might lose.

High Heaven, a cliff overlooking the disused chalk pit on the outskirts of town, is a place of secrets. A woman tragically died there years ago, a woman who – Fran is shocked to discover – had a connection to Ben. The more she digs, the more she realises that the people around her aren’t who she thought they were at all.

The truth is out there, somewhere… but is Fran brave enough to face it?

A gripping page-turner of a story! Fans of The Wife Between Us and The Couple Next Door will love this twisty tale of friendship, betrayal and deceit.

The book is cleverly plotted and well-paced and I absolutely thought I knew where the story was going but was wrong! I love that!” Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“A stunning read!... Wow! This is utterly captivating and not a novel which I will not forget in a hurry. Superbly written, extremely well plotted and carrying a hint of threat throughout, I was in it's grip all the way through and the surprises don't stop coming until the very final page… I loved it and it deserves no less than five shining, glowing stars.” Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
