Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Third Wife by Lisa Jewell, read by Emma Gregory.

You think you have the perfect life.

You're successful. Attractive. Well liked.

And you've just got married for the third time.

But that’s OK because everyone’s happy. Your children are happy. You're happy. And so is your new wife.

But one tragic accident smashes your perfect life to pieces. Because everyone has secrets, and secrets have consequences.

Some of which can be devastating.

Couldn’t put it down or at least I wouldn’t have if I’d had the physical book…so rather, I couldn’t stop listening!

This book was easy listening, but I found it wasn’t one to keep me up at night for ‘just one more chapter’.

I really enjoyed this book - very different from anything else I have read but I hated most of the characters. With the exception of Pearl, they were really unlikeable and shallow!

What a strange read

I really really enjoyed this story, kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the majority of it. It’s definitely made it’s way into my top 10 books. However, although not a big deal and not worth taking stars off, I would say there are a few parts throughout which are a little slow but the overall story makes up for that! 10/10 will/would recommend!!

Really really enjoyed

I love Lisa Jewel books and whilst I listened to this over 2 days it had a good story but not the normal suspense I love from her stories.

Enjoyable without being compelling

Good read. Not as great as some of Jewell’s others but a good book none the less. Took a bit to get going but were a few twists & turns to keep you engaged.

Slow start but worth pushing through

I really love mystery novels and this came up as a suggestion. I would not call it a mystery. It’s more the story of a selfish man trying to avoid a midlife crisis. He is surrounded by woman with low self esteem and children who will do whatever they need to to get his attention. It ends way to unbelievably

Kind of interesting
