HIS FIRST WIFE DIED. NOW THERE'S A VACANCY…

When Emma meets Matthew, a kind, handsome widower, he seems to be just what she needs.

Yet as their relationship moves fast, Emma’s friends worry she might be exploited. She’s a rich woman after all.

Emma doesn’t care Matthew has no money. But as the memory of his perfect first wife hangs over them, Emma does have one tiny doubt.

If Matthew’s wife hadn’t died, he wouldn’t be with her. And Emma wonders if she’s second best. Can she ever fill the dead woman’s shoes?

As jealousy and suspicion blossom between Emma and Matthew, events take a darker, dangerous turn.

Suddenly Emma doesn’t know who she can trust. Her friends? Her husband? Or even herself…?

Oh man this was a non stop listener for me I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The way all the loose ends tied together in the end was just amazing and so satisfying. Every character had and ending no loose ends here !

Kept twisting in a good way

Oh my gosh, it made me so uncomfortable at times. I hated what was happening to Emma. She was literally losing her mind with how Betsy and Matthew were gaslighting her. So powerful and gripping.

Captivating

Wow! I gave the story 4 stars because the beginning was so boring that I increased the voice speed to get on with it. Then toward the middle of the book it got so interesting that I went back to normal speed. I could never have guessed the ending. I think this is one of the best plot twists that I've heard and I've listened to hundreds of books. The narrator was phenomenal!

Be Patient - The Ending is Worth it !
