# The Next Wife - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Liz Lawler** (Author)

**A dark, heart-stopping story of what really goes on behind closed doors--perfect for fans of _The Surgeon_, _The Housemaid_, and _The Family Across the Street_.**

_I should never have married him. I ignored the warnings. It's what you do when you're in love. Ignore what you don't want to see._

My husband is everything I ever dreamed of. A handsome, successful doctor who swept me off my feet.

Our new life together is perfect.

He's perfect.

But am I good enough for him? I never seem to get anything right. And I'm starting to feel a little afraid of the man I married.

He's taken away my bank card and my phone. I don't know what to think or what to do. I gave up everything for him and now I'm trapped.

Then a stranger comes to our door. She tells me that I can't trust my husband.

That I should ask him what happened to his first wife.

### Author Biography

**Liz Lawler** had a 20-year career as a nurse and later became a general manager of a five star hotel, followed by a stint as a flight attendant with British Airways.

Born in Kent, Liz was part of a large family having 11 siblings. She discovered the solitude of writing, after coming home from a busy nightshift in the emergency department, was a place where she could step away from an emotionally and physically demanding job.

She now lives in Bath with her family and writes in any place that has a quiet space.

Her debut psychological thriller, Don't Wake Up, became a bestseller with number 1 on Apple and in the Kindle top 10, and has been published by Harper in the US and translated into 12 other languages.
