Summary

How well do you know your husband?

Since Alice’s fiancé walked out on her, she never thought she’d meet "The One". But all that changes when she meets Dominic. Handsome, charming, and kind, Alice can’t believe her luck when he proposes a few months later and moves into her West London home.

Three years on, Alice’s catering business is thriving and she is married to a man she adores. So when she sees that little blue line, it should be the happiest moment of her life: they’re going to have a baby. But then the police knock on her door and Alice’s whole world is turned upside down...Dominic is dead.

Distraught, Alice goes to identify the body. There’s no doubt that it’s her husband. Yet when his estranged brother comes to view the coffin, he insists the man lying there is not Dominic. Alice refuses to believe it at first, but when confronted with irrefutable proof, she finally has to face the truth:

The man she married is not the person he said he was. And if he lied about that, what else was he hiding from her?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. If you love Behind Closed Doors, My Lovely Wife, and Friend Request, you’ll be hooked on The Man She Married.

Great Story Line

Great story line, enjoyed the way it was written. Unfortunately the narration ruined it completely for me, the tone felt completely off and the character voices were irritating especially "Dom", no body speaks like that.
Would have given 5 stars if it had a better narrator.

Odd narration.

Interesting story. Gripping in places. But the narrator! Such odd intonation and inflection. Glee and twee and no gravitas at all. Really spoiled the listen.

Great story !!

I really enjoyed this book. Even though there were for me no twists nor turns that I didn't see coming. I don't really think it was written for twists to be honest. Saying that the story is very good and it pulls you straight in. So I finished it fairly quickly. Definitely worth a read and 4 * from me 📚 only thing I found that let it down was the narrator she didn't make it sound like it was a psychological thriller. Which really was a shame. She did some great accents though

Slow start, terrible narration

Although the premise of the story is good ... the narration is dreadful and doesn’t really even make a nod towards a phycological thriller atmosphere. The characters are one dimensional and although the plot is interesting enough to keep you listening, there is no real depth which isn’t helped at all by the lighthearted tone.
The ending comes around all of a sudden and doesn’t really explain why Dom did what he did..... overall, worth a listen but easily forgettable.
I wouldn’t listen or read another book by this author.
