Publisher's Summary

"Mysteries drive this satisfyingly twisty tale by Hepworth, whose work may remind you of Liane Moriarty's...the effect is amplified by the talented cast, which includes Caroline Lee, who narrates Moriarty's audiobooks."The Providence Journal

Sally Hepworth, the newest breakout star of domestic suspense, delivers her next twisty novel about family secrets and lies in The Younger Wife.

Stephen Aston is getting married again. The only problem is, he's still married to his first wife, even though she is in a care facility for dementia. But he'll take care of that easily, by divorcing her—even if his adult daughters protest.

Tully and Rachel Aston look upon Heather as nothing but an interloper. Heather is the same age as Rachel and even younger than Tully. Clearly she's a gold digger and after their father's money. Heather has secrets that she's keeping close, and reasons of her own for wanting to marry Stephen.

With their mother unable to speak for herself, Tully and Rachel are determined to get to the truth about their family's secrets, the new wife closing in, and who their father really is. But will getting to the truth unleash the most dangerous impulses...in all of them?

The ending was a let down.

Enjoyed the book up until the end. Great performance by the voice actors and character development was satisfying. A family drama with sinister undertones

Loved this story

The story itself was interesting and kept me listening. Although the voice performances were very good, the imitation of the kids voices was grating.

Listen to the Acknowledgments

I loved the book. Usually I click off when the author chimes in at the end. But reader - it’s worth listening right to the end. Weirdos will take over the throne!
