Rebecca only wanted to help out – to be kind. Richard seemed so alone after his wife, Nicole, died, and Rebecca wanted to make sure he knew he had someone to rely on.
But now she’s in Nicole’s immaculate house. Drinking from her favourite crystal wine glass. Keeping shoes in her orderly closet. Comforting her sweet and grieving step-daughter. It feels like Rebecca is living another woman’s life.
And as she gets to know the neighbours, Rebecca hears stories that make her wonder: was free-spirited Nicole happy in this perfect life, or did she feel trapped? Did she feel, as Rebecca is beginning to, that something wasn’t quite right?
The book everyone’s talking about! If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us and The Girl Before, you’ll be totally gripped and unable to put down this twisty page-turning psychological thriller.

My review...
Where do I begin when describing this thrilling number.......I can start by saying that I devoured it all in one sitting. I'm starting to think with a Sheryl Browne book there's simply no way you can or will put the book down. Read with baited breath I was page-turning with such frenzy I just had to know what happened next and if one of my million theories were correct.......in case you were wondering they weren't. The OMG moment, or moments, should I say were spectacular and my fiance had to check in with me that I was OK several times during this journey as I seemed to be staring at my Kindle with such fervour. But what a story, you won't want to miss this one guys.
I won't go into any details regarding the plot because I would hate to leave any hints or spoilers but the blurb above is really all you need to be able to dive into this masterful piece of writing. There were twists, turns, ups and downs at every turn of the page and I was dizzy with glee at how captivating the story was. A psychological thriller of a journey that will leave you reeling by the end. Sheryl Browne certainly is a wizard of wonder when it comes to creating these thrilling reads and you are in for a treat. So buckle up as it's going to be a bumpy ride, take a deep breath and dive in.......because believe me when I say, you won't be back up for air until the concluding pages.
The Second Wife is a captivating read that pulled me in from the opening pages and didn't let go, it is a complete triumph. If you haven't downloaded or ordered this book yet then I must ask you.....what are waiting for? Grab your nearest copy now - you won't be disappointed.

About the author...
Bestselling Author, Sheryl Browne, brings you powerful psychological thriller and contemporary fiction. A member of the Crime Writers’ Association and the Romantic Novelists’ Association, and previously writing for award winning Choc Lit, Sheryl has several books published and two short stories in Birmingham City University anthologies, where she completed her MA in Creative Writing.
So why does Sheryl write in two genres? Quoting E. L. Doctorow, Sheryl says: “Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights…” This she thinks sums up a writer’s journey, you never quite know where you are going until you get there. You might start with an outline, but a strong character will always divert from the plot. If Sheryl’s not sure where a character is going, she simply has to trust him to show her the way. Plus, according to one reviewer, she also has a scary insight into the mind of a psychopath.
