A dark and suspenseful novel of lies, betrayal, and identity - perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror.
It was meant to be an evening to honour and celebrate Evelyn Caldwell's award-winning, career-making scientific research - but Evelyn has things on her mind.Things like Nathan, her husband, who has left her for a younger, better, newer woman. A woman who is now pregnant - but shouldn't be - and is strikingly familiar. Too familiar to be a coincidence.A woman who shouldn't exist.The Echo Wife is a propulsive new novel from an international rising star about identity, murder, and the choices society forces women to make.********************************Readers LOVE The Echo Wife'I read it in just under 24 hours, finding it hard to put down.
