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.

Great murder mystery

“Husband and Wife” by K.L. Slater is a riveting murder mystery that channels the essence of Columbo, complete with a surprise twist at the end that left me thoroughly impressed. The journey through its pages was an engaging one, filled with suspense and unexpected turns. The well-crafted narrative and intriguing character development have firmly placed K.L. Slater on my ‘must-read’ list of authors. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good whodunit with a classic feel and a modern twist!

Story full of twists and turns

Great story and well presented. There were parts that seemed to drag due to being irrelevant to the overall storyline, but it was still worth the read
