About this listen

He thinks his secret is safe. But she knows the truth....

My husband is a doctor. He’s smart and charming, and everybody trusts him. Except me.

On the surface, it looks like I have it all–the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it’s far from the truth.

Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should’ve been a fresh start for us both.

Except I’ve discovered my husband has been lying to me again. He’s using the power he has in his job to mess with people’s lives and to get exactly what he wants–no matter who it hurts.

But he’s underestimated me. I’ve had plenty of time, in this big, isolated house, to think about all of his mistakes.

And my husband has no idea what’s about to happen next....

From the number one best-selling author of The Passenger, an absolutely gripping psychological thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists that will keep you listening late into the night. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl, and The Housemaid, you’ll be hooked on The Doctor’s Wife.

On the fence about this one

Here’s the thing….storyline was interesting, the book was just the right amount of time without all the extra descriptions but I didn’t like a single character! They were all low life’s for one reason or another so there was no one to cheer for. Then what happens….it’s a sequel and I’ve already downloaded the next book. I’m hoping there is at least one person with redeeming values. If not, I might have to skip more titles from this author.

Awesome

I love that the author keeps me on my toes! Who would've thought that a good doctor could be so corrupt! I highly recommend this book as it will leave you turning the pages well after your normal bedtime.

Couldn’t stop listening

I know when I pick up one of Daniel Hurst’s books, I am in for a fast-paced twisty ride, so imagine my surprise when he lulled me into a slow burn marital drama instead of a twisty thriller. But don’t worry, it all picked up part way through and kept me on my toes. I’ve read quite a few of his books and I liked this change of pace. While I saw the very last twist coming, there were a few that caught me off guard. I have to say I’ve read a few books lately that you don’t have to wait for the twist at the end. You never know where they might happen and I think that’s a plus.

You don’t read his books for the loving characters, so don’t get put off by the unlikeable couple at the center of this. Once things start to happen, you are invested to know the outcome. Not too many details here so as to not spoil anything but trust me you’ll want to know. Their dual narration allows you to know both sides of their marital woes. And at times it seems like Fern is telling you the story as a friend.

I was both listening and reading the book, as time permitted, and I thought both Sarah Durham and David Wayman did an excellent job bringing Fern and Drew to life.

I think of the author’s books as part of the popcorn thriller genre that aren’t too long, move quickly and keep you guessing. If you love that in a book, you should pick this one up.

Page Turner

Ok, so listened to the book, so it wasn't really a page turner. But I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. There were so many twists and turns. I had idea where the author was taking us. I will listen to more of Daniel Hurst's books. I didn't want it to end.

My first book by this author.

This was the first time I listened to anything by this author. It was very good, held my interest from the beginning and now I’m going to start on Book 2 of the series The For’s Wife.

4 Stars

The Doctor’s Wife is my first novel by Daniel Hurst and I think I will return to his novels in the future!

The prologue starts differently from most thrillers: You know from the beginning that there is a murder and who the found body is, so here we go! But, when I realized what the trope was that The Doctor’s Wife consisted of, I wasn’t sure of my choice to listen to this novel. It’s a trope I am not a huge fan of, but the audiobook is so short that I decided to listen to some more. Then I was surprised: I got fully invested into the story and didn’t want to stop listening to it!

Both Fern and Drew are unlikeable for more than one reason and have many issues, but I became #TeamFern all the way! This one has pov’s from both Fern and Drew and also takes place in the past and present.

It has twists that keep coming, some I predicted, some I didn’t. I really did enjoy this one! Both narrators did a great job portraying Fern and Drew.

**Many thanks to the publisher Bookouture Audio for granting me an audio copy to listen to and review in my own time!

Audiobook Review!

This is my first thriller by Daniel Hurst, and it certainly will not be my last. The Doctor’s Wife was the slow burn of a thriller, but it kept me coming back for more and I could NOT put it down. I was able to enjoy the audiobook, which helped with the multiple POV’s and timelines the author had created.

The Doctor’s Wife is about a young doctor who is having an affair on his wife. The only thing is...his wife knows it. The different POV shows the doctor moving closer to his lover, while the wife going along with the plan in hopes of ultimately getting her revenge.

Just when I thought I had this book figured out, then WHAM another twist. By getting the multiple point of views and hearing about the horrible things each person has done- it made me conflicted on which side to take. I was feeling all types of emotion while reading, whether angry, disgusted, or sad. I love the ending and good twists and turns, that is what makes a great thriller for me. Can’t wait to read more! 4 out of 5 stars!
