Synopsis

A woman’s seemingly perfect second marriage is rocked by a discovery about the death of her first husband in this twisty psychological thriller from Kate White, the New York Times bestselling author whom Entertainment Weekly called “impossible to outwit.” Recovering from the unsolved murder of her first husband, Derrick, thirtysomething Emma Hawke has built a new life with Tom, a handsome, successful, and loving widower who finally makes her feel safe again.Then one day a police detective shows up at their house on the Connecticut shore, asking questions about Derrick’s death. Emma was sure she’d been cleared in the days after the tragedy. So why is law enforcement taking another look now—and questioning the timing of her relationship with Tom? She hadn’t even met him until after Derrick’s death.Then Emma is shocked to discover that, in fact, she and her second husband attended the same business dinner two months before Derrick’s murder. Did Tom, unbeknownst to Emma, spot her there? Could he have set his sights on her and orchestrated a plan to make her his wife, whatever the cost.With twists and turns all the way to the last page, this fast-paced, expertly plotted novel will have you asking that age-old question: how well do you really know the ones you love?

Goodreads review by Mandy on May 28, 2022

As expected, The Second Husband was another fabulously twisty read from the mind of Kate White. She always keeps me guessing and staying up late to finish her books. I read this in under 24 hours, just needing to know what was going to happen. A clever and well executed psychological thriller. Our m......more

I received an ARC of this book.

Goodreads review by Tonya on October 17, 2022

Wow! What a ride! This mystery thriller had me reading late into the night. The plot is fast paced, twisty with many cliffhangers along the way. This book asks the question, how well do you really know the person you hold near and dear? Who can you trust? Trusting the wrong person may be deadly. The......more
