En av årets stora thrillersuccéer »En djävulskt smart katt-och-råtta-thriller.« New York Times Hon är inte den du tror… Vanessa Thompson har blivit lämnad för en yngre kvinna av sin exmake Richard. Han är nu förlovad med Nellie, och Vanessa är svartsjuk och besatt av sin ersättare. Och av tanken på att till varje pris stoppa deras giftermål. I alla fall är det så det verkar. Den andra kvinnan är en isande thriller som skildrar de komplexa hemligheterna i vad som på ytan varit ett avundsvärt äktenskap - och hur farligt det kan vara att ignorera sanningen i kärlekens namn. Boken blev en omedelbar New York Times Bestseller när den släpptes i USA våren 2018. En gastkramande, opålitlig spänningsroman, full av oförutsägbara vändningar. SARAH PEKKANEN har tidigare skrivit sju bästsäljande romaner på egen hand. Den andra kvinnan [The Wife Between Us, 2018], hennes thrillerdebut tillsammans med Greer Hendricks, blev en omedelbar New York Times Bestseller när den släpptes och den har också valts till en av årets mest oumbärliga böcker i Wall Street Journal och Glamour. GREER HENDRICKS är en amerikansk författare och journalist. Under två decennier var hon förlagsredaktör på Simon & Schuster. Innan dess arbetade hon på tidskriften Allure och tog en masterexamen i journalistik på Columbia University. »En av de böcker du bara måste läsa i år.« | Wall Street Journal »Andlöst spännande.
