A USA Today Best Seller

"Immersive, satisfying, tense - and timely: This is probably happening for real right now." (Lee Child)

"First-rate...Slick, heart-hammering entertainment."(The New York Times Book Review)

On an early morning in November, a couple boards a private plane bound for Geneva, flying into a storm. Soon after, it simply drops off the radar, and its wreckage is later uncovered in the Alps. Among the disappeared is Matthew Werner, a banking insider at Swiss United, a powerful offshore bank. His young widow, Annabel, is left grappling with the secrets he left behind, including an encrypted laptop and a shady client list. As she begins a desperate search for answers, she determines that Matthew's death was no accident, and that she is now in the crosshairs of his powerful enemies.

Meanwhile, ambitious society journalist Marina Tourneau has finally landed at the top. Now that she's engaged to Grant Ellis, she will stop writing about powerful families and finally be a part of one. Her entry into the upper echelons of New York's social scene is more appealing than any article could ever be, but, after the death of her mentor, she agrees to dig into one more story. While looking into Swiss United, Marina uncovers information that implicates some of the most powerful men in the financial world, including a few who are too close to home. The story could also be the answer to Annabel's heartbreaking search - if Marina chooses to publish it.

The Banker's Wife is both a high-stakes thriller and an inside look at the personal lives in the intriguing world of finance, introducing Cristina Alger as a powerful new voice in the genre.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“In Alger's cerebral, expertly paced Swiss thriller, an American expat wife sorts through the conflicting stories surrounding her husband's death.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“An engrossing financial thriller...Alger presents the world of wealth management in a way that a novice can understand the intricacies but also appeals to the sophisticated reader. This complex tale of how greed can upend innocent lives will resonate with many.” (Publishers Weekly)

The Banker's Wife is a page-turning, plot-twisting international thriller of the first order. Cristina Alger’s writing is as sophisticated and self-assured as the characters she’s created. A remarkable and intriguing journey into the rarefied world of power and money. A perfect blend of mystery, suspense, and betrayal.” (Nelson DeMille)

“Readers riding this international financial roller coaster will be kept on edge through its many twists and turns. Highly recommended for fans of fast-paced thrillers in the tradition of John Grisham.” (Library Journal, starred review)

Intriguing Plot • Unexpected Twists • Engaging Voice • Alternating Viewpoints • Complex Characters • Great Performance

First off... I’m normally not a book listener. I usually need to hold and read a book or now, as a preferred tablet reader! But things need to get done! So I started this book with my sewing machine, and got hooked.
I got sooo hooked, I started listening in bed at night. I’d fall asleep... twice... with the book ending without me! So the 3rd attempt was made and succeeded, while sewing only! I found this to be a very good , entertaining and addicting book! Sad to reach the end. Loved all the characters, and enjoyed Karissa Vacker’s performance. Plus I got a lot of sewing done! Will do this again ... hopefully with a book by this author!

Ok.... I fell asleep ...twice.!

Would make a good movie! Action, intrigue, and a little romance! And for some reason this software keeps asking for more words to submit this review

Great story. Could not put it down.

The story was fairly interesting and the narrator was quite good when not trying to pronounce foreign words. She clearly had no foreign language training. Ordinarily, this would not matter, but there were a large number of words and phrases that were in foreign languages. It really hurt to hear the repeated mispronunciations, and negatively affected my enjoyment of the book.

Fair story but problem with narrator

This was a story of intrigue. The characters intertwined but were unknown to each other. I loved the twists and turns that left you guessing what would occur next. Good reading.

Lots of little twists and turns, interesting plot, love this narrator... but if you want a BIG shocking twist, this might not be for you. But overall, I enjoyed it!

I loved the storyline, somewhat predictable, but the author still kept you on the edge.

excellent!

Fairly good, but far fetched story that was destroyed by very bad narration. Writer should have considered tying up the events.

No more Accents, PLEASE

First time reading this author. Good plot. Different territory/idea from usual mysteries.
Will read Christina Alger again. Narrator, Karissa Vacker, for audible was perfect.

Look forward to reading author again
