About this listen

“Adele just gets better and better and First Wife’s Shadow had me in a chokehold from beginning to end. The twists and the tension-building were spellbinding and masterfully done. A true five-star read.” —Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of None of This is True

An exhilarating psychological crime thriller that will have you racing to the finish!


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…?
