About this listen
Beth and Cath are leaving their husbands.
This is a story about two very different women.
One is wealthy and having an affair with a man who gives her the kind of love that her cold, detached husband does not.
One is living hand to mouth, suffering at the hands of a violent partner who would rather see her dead than leave him.
You may think you know these women already and how their lives will unfold.
Beth will live happily ever after with her little girl and her soulmate.
Cath will go back to her abusive husband.
And these two women will never cross paths.
But you will be wrong.
On the 3.15pm train from London to Bristol, Beth and Cath are about to meet and discover they share one shocking thing in common.
A clever, engrossing and absolutely enthralling listen about what really lies beneath the surface of a marriage. Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will be hooked on The Stranger’s Wife.

Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening when two detectives show up at her front door. A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban neighborhood. The police suspect the worst - murder. And Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive. Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth - Liam may have done the unthinkable.

The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Three years ago Toni's five-year-old daughter, Evie, disappeared after leaving school. The police have never been able to find her. There were no witnesses, no CCTV, no trace. But Toni believes her daughter is alive. And as she begins to silently piece together her memories, the full story of the past begins to reveal itself - and a devastating truth. Toni's mind is trapped in a world of silence. Her only chance to save herself is to manage the impossible: she must find a way to make herself heard. She must find her daughter.

Great story, great voice
The narrator is perfectly cast for this riveting story. Sensitive, well paced and interesting, the author delivers an experience of an empathetic investigator, a perspective I that I hope truly exists.

Twisty and turny
A fun ride. It was a great book. I figured out the basic plot but that didn’t change how good the book is. Definitely worth a listen

Fabulous!
I absolutely loved this book! This is the third in this series that I have read, and they just keep getting better and better. I highly recommend this entire series to anyone who loves a good detective drama. The narrator is fantastic, the story has so many twists and turns, and the characters are very well written.

Excellent Performance
Enjoying the series so far. I had the plot figured out pretty early on but it was still enjoyable, especially for fans of the genre. I really came here to praise the performance. Very well done indeed! Riley's internal dialogue is spot on. Caution to readers that it does contain some typical stereotypes and tropes that are common to the genre (ableist language, fat phobic descriptions, gender stereotypes, behaviours categorized as criminal). Nothing egregious but I do wish my beloved mystery novels would do better.

Somewhat Klunky Relationship Exposition
This book reaches for Mystery/Psychological Thriller status
..but falls juuust short.
The narrative follows two fairly clichéd relationship situations: 'Beth' in a loveless marriage.. complete with rampant infidelity & "use the child" divorce machinations; and 'Cath'.. in a textbook abusive relationship with a douchebag boyfriend. Anna-Lou Weatherley writes well-enough.. exploring those situations with a modicum of originality - but resorting to tried and true plot devices to describe the events (addictions, dishonesty, hidden motives, etc.). The story evolves into more and more sordid circumstances, multiple murders, and exposed underground sex rings.. but the characters pretty much react exactly as expected. 'The Stranger's Wife' is clearly not Weatherley's best effort.
James Lailey turns in a subpar performance on this one, too. His diction, timbre, and voice-acting are typically spot-on.. but his cadence is strikingly staccato for some reason. Lailey easily falls into an awkward rhythm.
I was offered this book as a Daily Deal, and it was a reasonable purchase for the $5.24CDN I paid for it. When it showed up as part of the 'Plus' initiative, I felt somewhat ripped off. Oh, well.
This book merits 5.5 stars out of 10 - and it's not a crazy way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons if you can get it as an included selection. If Audible asks for a Credit, however, better options beckon.

Unbelievable
This is the first review I’ve ever left. This book was one of the best stories I have ever listened to. What a great plot and so insightful.
Cannot wait to read another by my now favourite author!
