About this listen

Alastair has found the perfect partner in husband Steven. Together they've built a successful life, had a beautiful child, and still behave like newlyweds long since the day he carried her over the threshold.

But all of that changes in an instant thanks to a thoughtless deed that has lifelong repercussions.

With secrets bubbling to the surface, the pair find their American dream life suddenly in jeopardy, and neither one of them are willing to let go at any cost.

Predictable but still a decent read

The narrators did a really good job making this entertaining. Even though I pretty much knew how the story would go pretty early on, it was still a quick engaging read.

Engaging. Entertaining and Fun Listening


While The Ruined Wife had some predictable twists and moments where better communication between the characters could have resolved the drama much sooner, I still couldn’t stop listening. It had a magnetic pull, keeping me invested from start to finish.

The narration brought the story to life in a way that made it incredibly engaging. Each character’s voice was distinct, and the pacing of the storytelling was just right. It wasn’t overly complex, which made it perfect for a relaxed listen while still being thrilling enough to keep me intrigued.

Yes, there were a few “if only they talked to each other” moments that made me roll my eyes, but honestly, that’s part of the charm in these kinds of stories! The tension and drama kept me hooked, and the twists—though sometimes anticipated—were satisfying in their execution.

If you’re looking for an audiobook that’s exciting and easy to digest, I’d definitely recommend The Ruined Wife. It’s perfect for fans of domestic thrillers who want something entertaining without feeling overly heavy. Give it a try—you might find yourself finishing it in one sitting like I did!

Lesson Learned

This tale is a lot more realistic than not. People do all kinds of impulsive stupid things and spend the rest of their lives asking why. My husband was a chronic cheater, he ruined our relationship. Claimed he loves me, when you ask why he cheated he never had an answer. I don't know was his typical one. When a person is truly sorry for any wrong they may have committed they will never ever do it again. That much I know for sure. And I also know, some things just never mend. Why take that chance?
