Crime & Mystery

The enthralling, page-turning new thriller from the internationally acclaimed author of Sticks and Stones.

'A totally engaging, brilliantly characterised read that had me hanging on every twist and turn. An absolute 5
* cracker of a book' Gytha Lodge

Sorry.

Beth Lomas thought she knew her late husband. But this one small word, written on the back of a discarded envelope and left on their kitchen table convinces the police that Oscar took his own life. As the police announce they are not seeking anyone else in connection with Oscar's death, Beth is convinced that there is more to the story.

As she sets out to discover what really happened, Beth uncovers shocking truths about the man she thought she knew better than anyone. In their small town it seems like every stone she turns hides an ugly secret and it's not long before her own dark past begins to rise to the surface.

What His Wife Knew is an enthralling, page-turning mystery concerned with what it means to love, and the importance of female friendship in the face of the darkest situations life can throw at us.
