The Replacement Wife: A Novel

Written by Darby Kane

Narrated by Karissa Vacker

The #1 International bestselling author of Pretty Little Wife returns with another thrilling domestic suspense novel that asks, how many wives and girlfriends need to disappear before your family notices?

Elisa Wright is a mom and wife, living a nice, quiet life in a nice, quiet town. She’s also convinced her brother-in-law is a murderer. Josh has one dead wife and one missing fiancée, and though he grieved for them he starts dating someone new. Elisa fears for that woman’s safety, and she desperately wants to know what happened to her friend, Josh’s missing fiancée.

Searching for clues means investigating her own family. And she doesn’t like what she finds. A laptop filled with incriminating information. Other women.

But when Elisa becomes friends with Josh’s new girlfriend and starts to question things she thinks are true, Elisa wonders if the memories of a horrible incident a year ago have finally pushed her over the edge and Josh is really innocent. With so much at stake, Elisa fights off panic attacks and a strange illness. Is it a breakdown or something more? The race is on to get to the truth before another disappearance because there’s a killer in the family…or is there?

Reviews for The Replacement Wife

[Gita Gass · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I can't pinpoint what's wrong with this book, but for me it was a drudgery. No thrill, no climax, unpleasant characters. Implausible story.

[Lara Pretorius · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Intriguing story with good characters. A bit long winded but still a great listen!

Ending is confusing. Story kind of drags...and I got really very tired of hearing how dizzy she was.
