This is such an interesting book! The writer excels in character development, relayed carefully as the book progresses. The story is told from the perspectives of Tully, Rachel and Heather in an expertly crafted plot. I could not put this book down!

The book begins with a murder at Stephen and Heather’s wedding. There is a scream while the couple are signing the register and later a body is removed. This part of the story is told by someone other than one of the central characters. Who is murdered, and by whom is not disclosed until later in the book.

Without giving too much away, the characters each suffer from a psychological disorder which for me really amped up the impact of this book. Each woman carries a secret, unbeknownst to others. These secrets are slowly revealed at appropriate moments to keep the reader riveted.

The concept of this book was founded in part by the author’s own experience with her Great-Aunt. If you love psychological mysteries/thrillers or women’s fiction I highly recommend The Younger Wife.

The audiobook version of The Younger Wife which was narrated by Barrie Kreinik, Caroline Lee, Jessica Douglas-Henry and Zoe Carides. I appreciate when publishers decide to use multiple narrators as it helps provide another layer of personality to each of the characters. The audiobook version is so well performed that I highly recommend listening to this edition of the book if you appreciate this format.
