About this listen

She is the wife every man dreams of.

She is the daughter-in-law every mother dreads.

When newlyweds Paul and Emily return from their honeymoon, the future looks golden. Then they receive the devastating news that Paul's father has collapsed and rush to his hospital bedside.

Grief soon draws them into Dorothy Mercer's grand, suffocating house near Windsor. Dorothy is ill and exacting, and while Paul works long hours in the city Emily steps in with saintly patience. Neighbors call her a rock. The GP calls her a blessing.

But Dorothy is not ready to give up her home. Or control. And she is determined to make sure everyone sees Emily for who she really is . . .

Set in a village where everyone knows your business and no one sees the truth, The Perfect Wife is a taut, twisty psychological thriller for listeners who devour books by Lisa Jewell and Louise Candlish.

Full of razor-sharp observations that build to a chilling reveal, it will make you listen to the very end and question everything that came before.
