Review
The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen is a complex novel depicting the intricacies of relationships and betrayal. The authors use the unreliable narrator style to take the plot forward. The writing is fast-paced and filled with unexpected twists and turns which will keep the readers engrossed till the end.The characters are developed nicely by the authors and they detail the motivations of the characters to act in the way they do in the novel. The suspense and the tension builds gradually in the plot and the readers will not be able to predict the ending. This is a razor-sharp thriller novel and is a recommended read.
