The Wife Next Door, October 2022, Bookouture


Two houses. Two front doors. One family. And we’re going to make it work. Nothing can possibly go wrong…


The Wife Next Door by Rona Halsall

Today we move into our new houses, right next door to each other. My ex-husband and me. He’s with someone else. So am I.

We’re still the best of friends.
 We’re making sure we’re not like every other separating couple. We know we will make it work. We’ve even knocked down the fences between the houses, so the children can all run between both homes.

But it seems not everyone likes this big, blended stepfamily. 
I try to ignore the scary note in the ‘new home’ card, and the red pen scrawled through my divorce paperwork. But I can’t pretend it’s all okay when an accusation is made against me that could destroy my life, my home, and my family forever.

Now I can’t help but think someone doesn’t like what’s happening under our two roofs. Or perhaps someone doesn’t like there being a wife next door…

What they don’t know is that they’re messing with the wrong person…

A completely unputdownable, jaw-on-the-floor psychological thriller for fans of Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Couple at No.9.


I would give this book more than 5 stars if possible! This book was one of the best I have read this year! I literally could not put it down. Run do not walk to get this book!’

Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Phenomenal… I should have seen the ending coming but… I did NOT! This book is SO good, I think I need to read it again… Absolutely loved it. So many twists.’

NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WOW!! Honestly I don’t know where to start. This book is one seriously twisted tale… BUT that twist!!! Is quite a shocker!!’
