‘I am completely and utterly speechless… Oh wow, absolutely triple wow… literally had me on tenterhooks… I thought I was going to fall off my chair.’ Mixing Reality with Fiction

Everyone has their secrets. But this one could destroy your marriage.

When Anna Blackwell opens an email from an unknown sender, the shocking image attached shatters her perfect world. A woman has been killed. And Anna knows who did it. The past is catching up with her.

Is it her turn next?

To protect herself and her husband Will, she must tell him the terrible truth about her first love. But as the secrets of her life unravel, Anna begins to realise that she is not the only one who has been living a lie.

Anna doesn’t know who to turn to: her best friend, her parents, her husband. But she knows that her ex-lover is dangerous and she must stop him, before it’s too late…

From the bestselling author of The Secret Mother and The Child Next Door, this utterly unputdownable psychological thriller will have you gasping at every twist. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and The Sister this book is for you.

A real thriller. It took me a while to finish reading it as I have been extremely busy. I recommend this book to anyone who likes psychological thriller. The ‘bad’ people really deserved what they got - Fin & Siam.

Good read! Great twist that I didn't see coming. Took me a while to get into the book though. Once halfway in, I was all in. My husbands opinion was that it grabbed him immediately, unlike me. Overall, 8/10

I almost stopped reading this book because Anna makes terrible decisions and overall is just stupid. However the book does improve after the first half, in part because of one plot twist in particular. However I wouldn't buy the book again because it took too long to become moderately good.

Shalina Boland's ability to create a fascinating story combined with her customary final twist never ceases to glue me to her books. It's a familiar but sadly all too often true to life scenario. A bright, if somewhat naive teenage schoolgirl expects and receives high grades in her 'A' levels. She hooks up with a ne'er do well youth who leads her down the garden path much to the dismay of her parents. And so as the story unfolds it leaves you screaming "wise up girl". The final twist will surprise you.

Anna’s perfect life is being taken apart and soon it will be completely destroyed if she doesn’t do something to stop it. She needs stop him.

Ten years ago, Anna and Fin fell in love with each when she was fifteen. In fact, Anna couldn’t fathom leaving Fin behind to attend university so she stayed home to live him after high school. They had an unbreakable bond or so she thought. Fin had a few crazy get rich ideas that Anna thought were just big talk. Before a better future could be planned another decision had to be made that altered the direction of there relationship.
It’s currently 2017 and Anna is married to Will. Anna has a few secrets she kept from Will. Unfortunately, the past and present are about to collide. Pieces of the past interlock and coincide with the present shedding light on who Anna was before she met Will.

I listened to The Millionaire’s Wife using the Netgalley app. I already own the ebook having read it long before an audiobook was available. I enjoyed revisiting this book listening to Katie Villa perform it in its entirety. Her feminine English British voice enhanced my listening experience. Katie has 10 years experience as a voice actor.
There’s so much to talk about in The Millionaire’s Wife, yet I feel I can’t say much without giving too much away. I want readers to be as surprised as I was. Shalini Boland had some very clever twists and turns along the way. The story was thrilling and exciting and a bit scary at times.
More than anything the plot was well executed and well written. Shalini Boland has become my go-to psychological thriller author. I’ve read all fifteen books she’s released in this category.
There’s nothing better than having a well written story and an experienced voice actor together bringing life to the characters and the story.

The writing is well done and very fast. The plot is not very plausible and has some serious flaws, it seems that the ending is trying to surprise you at any cost.
However it remains an enjoyable reading overall 👍
