A girl looking for love....

When Jane, a broke dog-walker newly arrived in town, meets Eddie Rochester, she can’t believe her luck. Eddie is handsome, rich and lives alone in a beautiful mansion since the tragic death of his beloved wife a year ago.

A man who seems perfect....

Eddie can give Jane everything she’s always wanted: stability, acceptance and a picture-perfect life.

A wife who just won’t stay buried....

But what Jane doesn’t know is that Eddie is keeping a secret—a big secret. And when the truth comes out, the consequences are far more deadly than anyone could ever have imagined....

A delicious twist on a gothic classic, The Wife Upstairs is perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Ruth Ware and Shari Lapena.

Critic reviews

"I was completely blown away by The Wife Upstairs. This is a compulsive, irresistible retelling of Jane Eyre with a modern, noir twist - and wow, does it work." (Samantha Downing, best-selling author of My Lovely Wife)

"A sharp, fresh twist on a classic in this darkly funny, suspenseful story of murder, ambition and love. Creepy and fast-paced...kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the very last." (Best-selling author Megan Miranda)

"The Wife Upstairs is everything I’d hoped - sharp, smart, tricky and fast-paced." (Kelly Harms, author of The Overdue Life of Amy Byler)
