Description

You're not who you say you are.

But neither is she.

In a hotel restaurant, a stranger sits down at Olive Anderson's dinner table and pretends to be her wife.

But as much as the fake wife has her secrets, Olive just might have more . . .

The Fake Wife is an unbelievably compelling psychological suspense novel that repeatedly pulls the rug out from the reader's feet. Exciting and original, from the Richard & Judy bestselling author of The Split.
