HIS FIRST WIFE DIED. NOW THERE'S A VACANCY…

When Emma meets Matthew, a kind, handsome widower, he seems to be just what she needs.

Yet as their relationship moves fast, Emma’s friends worry Emma might be exploited. She’s a rich woman after all.

Emma doesn’t care Matthew has no money. But as the memory of his perfect first wife hangs over them, Emma does have one tiny doubt.

If Matthew’s wife hadn’t died, he wouldn’t be with her. And Emma wonders if she’s second best. Can she ever fill the dead woman’s shoes?

As jealousy and suspicion blossom between Emma and Matthew, events take a darker, dangerous turn.

Suddenly Emma doesn’t know who she can trust. Her friends? Her husband? Or even herself…?

This sensational new thriller from the Number One bestseller Adele Parks will have you gripped until the very end.

Addictive twist and turns.

You start thinking you know what is going to happen but it all changes so constant surprises that keeps you reading. I love this about all Adel parks books from the first one I read. You are part of it lining it and you want to know what is going to happen next. I was fully invested.

Exciting, relatable

Engaging, relatable, predictable and unpredictable at times. Thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly Emma and Becky’s characters

Exactly what I was looking for

I needed an absorbing listen that didn't need to be realism but did need to act as escapism. It delivered. I was gripped right until the end.
