Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into, Spyglass, an enchanting old house in Hope Falls, nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that the stranger is his wife.

One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.

Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner called Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person's date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel, and as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.

My Husband’s Wife is a tangled web of deception, obsession, and mystery that will keep you guessing until the last page. Prepare yourself for the ultimate mind-bending marriage thriller and step inside Spyglass – if you dare – to experience a story where nothing is as it seems.

Discussion Questions

From the publisher - added by Pauline:

1. The book starts with the ultimate nightmare: Eden Fox is locked out of her own life. How did you react to Harrison’s gaslighting in those early chapters? Did you initially believe Eden was having a mental health crisis, or did you immediately suspect a larger conspiracy?

2. We learn that Birdy received a "death day" prediction from a mysterious clinic. How did this ticking clock influence her decisions compared to Eden’s more immediate survival instincts? Did you find Birdy to be a more or less reliable narrator than Eden?

3. The house, Spyglass, is an inheritance that ties the two timelines together. In Gothic thrillers, houses often act as characters. What do you think Spyglass represented for both women—was it a sanctuary, a trap, or a prize to be won?

4. Eden is an artist on the brink of her big break. How does her artistic eye—her way of seeing the world in "twilight" and "half-dark"—affect her reliability as a narrator? Does she see things as they are, or as she wishes to paint them?

5. Alice Feeney is famous for her "after-the-epilogue" reveals. How did the final reveal change your understanding of the relationship between Eden and Birdy? Was it a "fair" twist (were the clues there all along)?

6. Similar to Beautiful Ugly, this audiobook contains special sound effects to enhance the listening experience. How did you like the sound design? How did you like Richard Armitage’s narration of Harrison in My Husband’s Wife compared to the character of Grady in Beautiful Ugly? How did you like Bel Powley’s and Henry Rowley’s narration of the other characters in My Husband’s Wife?
