A gripping debut psychological thriller about the dark secrets in a perfect marriage. For fans of Shari Lapena.

I ended my marriage for a man who didn’t exist…
 
I have everything money can buy. I’m a good wife, but sometimes I feel trapped. And when I start an affair with a stranger called Ewan, my life changes in ways I can’t begin to understand.
 
Because Ewan breaks apart my marriage piece by piece and then he just disappears. He uses a fake name and leaves no trace behind; it’s like he doesn’t even exist.
 
Someone did this to me and now they’re waiting for me to unravel, watching my every move. I can’t trust anyone, not even myself – not even the people I love.

Reviews for The Stranger in Our Bed

[Catherine Penrod · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was a thriller with twists and turns. But, while the main female character is supposed to be smart, I find her incredibly gullible and unreal. There were also unanswered questions about the baby’s distress - did he cause it? And, why would she keep Tina on? Whatever happened to Becky? Peter’s family? Could have been a much better story.

[Jessica Frogge · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

OMG great book! Couldn’t stop listening. Definitely recommend this book!

[Shell Vee · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I liked it I did. I kinda assumed what happened the way it did actually did but then I changed my mind and it was what happened. I knew it would end the way it did. I liked it though I really did. I dont wanna give it away but alot of twists that made sense.
