"The Wife Between Us" by Greer Hendricks is a psychological thriller that explores the complexities of marriage, obsession, and identity. The novel follows the story of Vanessa, a woman coming to terms with the end of her marriage to a wealthy man, and Nellie, the woman he is about to marry. The narrative is non-linear, with chapters alternating between the perspectives of Vanessa and Nellie, as well as including occasional twists and turns that challenge the reader's assumptions about what is really going on. The author skillfully manipulates the narrative to create a sense of unease and uncertainty, leaving the reader questioning the reliability of the characters and their motivations. One of the strengths of the novel is the character development. Both Vanessa and Nellie are well-drawn, complex characters with their own flaws and vulnerabilities. The author does an excellent job of exploring their inner lives, making the reader feel sympathetic towards them even when their actions are questionable. The pacing of the novel is also well-handled, with the tension building steadily throughout the book until it reaches a fever pitch in the final act. The twists and turns of the plot are unpredictable and satisfying, and the author does an excellent job of tying up loose ends while still leaving enough ambiguity to keep the reader guessing. Overall, "The Wife Between Us" is a gripping and suspenseful psychological thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. With its complex characters, intricate plot, and masterful storytelling, it is a must-read for fans of the genre.
