The Second Wife

Some men don't collect memories. They collect wives.

She thought she knew her husband. She didn't even know his name.

Claire Reeves lives a quiet life in a small coastal town in Maine: a little house on the hill, a steady job, a husband who travels often — but always comes home. Eleven years of marriage, as reliable as the sea outside her window.

Until Claire sees a stranger in a photograph. A woman who calls David her husband. With a little girl holding her hand.

Claire only wants the truth. What she finds is a second home. A second wedding ring. A second life her husband has been living for years — just a few hours down the coast.

Then the other woman vanishes without a trace. And suddenly every clue points to Claire.

The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: David has done this before. The women who loved him all had something in common — a house, a bank account, a fatal "accident" by the water.

Claire is next on his list. Unless she can find the other woman before he does.

The Second Wife is a breathless psychological thriller about trust, self-deception, and the person who wakes up beside you. For readers of Joy Fielding, Shari Lapena, Paula Hawkins, and Gillian Flynn.
