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.

Unpredictable and I liked that!

I liked the twist, subject matter was a bit close to home but the story was interesting and I totally thought I’d figured it out but was happily wrong haha good narration too.

So good

Storyline was great and had me guessing to the end. The narrator was amazing. Mrs Vance was annoyingly relatable, ha, ha! I finished this in two days as I had to keep listening 😬😂

Loved the twists and turns. Just when I thought I had the mystery solved I’d find out I shouldn’t feel so certain. Very entertaining.

The way everyone turns out not to be who you think.

I didn’t like that I knew the protagonist early on but I loved how the storyline weaved.

Multi faceted

Enjoyable story that isn’t easily concluded in the first few chapters leaving you bored and uninterested for the remainder of the book.

Another Great KL Slater read!

Very twisty and turny, great performance by the narrator (as she always does)! Slater never fails to provide a great read, and this one is no different! Def recommend.

as interesting as the twists are the book spends too many words to say nothin

I like that the end is not usually what you expect but the author uses too many words to say absolutely nothing. create a huge amount of suspence then at the end of the chapter say but he knew it was all his fault! it might work for sometime but every single book is the same. i simply fast forwarded to the last hour of the book and still understood the whole book. all the words in between didn't take away anything to enhance my understanding of the story.

I couldn’t stop listening as I just needed to know more.

Another great story from this author. The characters are well written and easy to relate to. The story has twists and turns keeping you guessing right up until the end. The narration was just perfect with a good range of characters voices with a steady and interesting flow.

Slow burner..

I was already on the back foot when I began listening. Not massively impressed with the author and I wasn’t sure about the narrator. I WAS SO WRONG!

Engaging and well told

Enjoyed this story so much that I missed a night’s sleep! The characters are well drawn and the narrative tension is sustained until the final couple of chapters. Only one part loose-end (was it really suicide?) but most of the strands are well tied up. Great narration too!

Kept me guessing throughout.

A slow beginning but picked up pace and intrigue. A good plot although the characters were on the dull side. Enjoyed it.
