The Wife Upstairs

Więcej o książce

A delicious twist on a Gothic classic, this novel pairs Southern charm with atmospheric domestic suspense, appealing to fans of B.A. Paris and Megan Miranda. Meet Jane, a broke dog-walker in Birmingham, Alabama, navigating the gated community of Thornfield Estates, home to McMansions and bored housewives. Here, Jane discreetly lifts discarded items from her wealthy clients, concealing her true identity. Her fortunes shift when she encounters Eddie Rochester, the enigmatic widower whose wife, Bea, tragically drowned alongside her best friend, their bodies lost at sea. Jane sees in Eddie not just a handsome, brooding figure but also a chance for the protection she craves. As their romance blossoms, Jane becomes increasingly haunted by Bea's legacy—a beautiful woman with a rags-to-riches story who built a successful lifestyle brand. Can plain Jane ever measure up to Bea's memory? As she strives to win Eddie's heart, she must confront the shadows of her past and the secrets that threaten to unravel her new life. With suspense, incisive wit, and a fresh feminist perspective, this vivid reimagining of a classic love triangle explores themes of forbidden romance, ill-advised attraction, and a wife who refuses to stay buried.
