A completely binge-worthy psychological thriller with a heart-pounding twist

I thought my first husband died ten years ago. But now he’s back...

Opening the front door, I’m stunned to see a familiar face. I never thought I’d see Freddie’s deep brown eyes and crooked smile again. But how is this possible when he died ten years ago…?

It took years to move on, but finally my life is almost perfect. I live in a gorgeous house with my handsome second husband Carter, my two daughters and our adorable baby boy. I’ve never stopped missing Freddie or wondering what happened to him. But now he’s here and staring right at me–and my head is spinning with questions.

Then Freddie says, ‘Don’t trust Carter.’ It sends shivers down my spine. Freddie and Carter used to be best friends. So what does he mean? Carter has been my shoulder to cry on, my rock. He’s helped me through the darkest times. I trust him with my life… don’t I?

Who is telling the truth: my first husband or my second husband? And could one of them be behind the threatening notes I’ve been receiving?

I have to make the right choice. My life depends on it…

An absolutely addictive work with heart-pounding twists from beginning to end. Fans of The Woman in the Window, Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and The Housemaid won’t be able to put this down!

I’ve so enjoyed listening to “The Husband Before You” by AJ McDine. Narrated by the always-outstanding Tamsin Kennard and George Weightman, this psychological thriller is twisty and complexellent in all aspects. The characters are intricate and shocking secrets are revealed. What if your first husband came back from the dead? That’s the gripping premise of this story. Alex’s life is turned upside-down when he reappears, warning her not to trust her current husband. Who’s telling the truth? McDine's writing is top-notch, and Kennard and Weightman’s dual narration is absolute perfection. I was hooked throughout – an utterly unexpected ending I never saw coming. Worth a treasured credit, but I struck gold when I found this for $2.67 during Audible’s unbelievable spring sale. Don’t miss this one. You will thank me later. Epic, indeed!

first I found it really entertaining and of course the narrator always does an amazing job I'm going to destroy him on I realized it was very predictable and a lot of the Minor details like the workings of hospital just weren't beleiveable

predictable and to many things that just wouldn't happen

While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and appreciated the different time lines, I knew within the first few chapters who the villain was. I feel like it was not even subtle, but very obvious. I also did not enjoy the ending. I’d say overall, 3.5 stars, only because I did enjoy the story. However, if you’re seeking any form of suspense or shocking twist, this book will not deliver.

Very predictable
