Between Husbands and Wives
Between Husbands and Wives
Description
On a cold, dark night, two cars collide -
Inside the vehicle at fault, Jennifer Ashby survives with barely a scratch. In the wreckage of the second, the occupants are not so lucky. Jennifer's good character helps her escape jail, but she is traumatised by the event. Desperate for a fresh start, and with her marriage buckling under the stress, she convinces her husband, Jon, to make a sea-change and move with their young son to Far North Queensland.
As Jon spends long hours at his new job and Jennifer makes secret plans to absolve her lingering guilt, cracks begin to form in their idyllic new life. Will their dark secret be exposed? And what really happened on the night of the accident?
'Susannah Glenn drew me right in to Jen's troubled world as she attempts to escape dark secrets and right past wrongs in this thoroughly absorbing, frighteningly real and sharply plotted debut, which firmly positions Glenn as a formidable new talent in the twisty domestic thriller genre.' Nicola Moriarty
'A propulsive and gripping thriller with twists that don't let up. You will not see the end coming. This is a debut not to miss.' ALI LOWE
'A lush, suspenseful story where nothing is as it seems. Between Husbands and Wives immerses the reader in the verdant tropics of North Queensland, delivering an ever-increasing sense of dread as a marriage falters, and the details surrounding a fatal accident begin to appear. This book is both absorbing and intriguing, and the need to discover what really happened kept me turning the pages late into the night.' Jo Dixon, author of The House of Now and Then
