The Quiet Wife

Sarah Whitfield has been the perfect wife for twelve years.
Beautiful house. Two clever children. A husband everyone admires. She wakes at 4:47 every morning. She doesn’t know why. She has stopped asking.
She used to be the loud one. The funny one. The one who picked the restaurants. Then she met Daniel. Then she went soft. Then she went quiet. She does not, any more, remember the woman she used to be.
Then the small things start. A locked study door that has never been locked. A muddy shoe at four in the morning. A letter addressed to a name she doesn’t recognise. And a woman watching the house from across the street who finally leans in and asks one quiet question: Do you know what he did?
There is a whole year of Sarah’s life she cannot find when she reaches for it. There is a reason for the year. There is a reason her husband married her. And the woman across the street is the only person who knows both.
If Sarah remembers, she loses everything.
If she doesn’t remember, she loses something worse.
Her marriage is not what she thought it was. Her husband is not who she thought he was. And the quiet woman she has spent twelve years becoming was the entire point.
A taut, claustrophobic domestic suspense with a killer twist. One-click now and read it in one sitting.
