Description

The ninth thriller in the Joe O'Loughlin series, the inspiration for the major ITV series The Suspect starring Aidan Turner.

'Superbly constructed . . . a breathtaking twist' Daily Mail

Childhood sweethearts William and Mary have been married for sixty years. William is a celebrated surgeon, Mary a devoted wife. Both have a strong sense of right and wrong.


This is what their son, Joe O'Loughlin, has always believed. But when Joe is summoned to the hospital with news that his father has been brutally attacked, his world is turned upside down. Who is the strange woman crying at William's bedside, covered in his blood - a friend, a mistress, a fantasist or a killer?

Against the advice of the police, Joe launches his own investigation. As he learns more, he discovers sides to his father he never knew - and is forcibly reminded that the truth comes at a price.

Although the Joe O'Loughlin books can be read in any order, The Other Wife is the ninth in the series after Close Your Eyes.


And don't miss Michael Robotham's new #1 bestselling Cyrus Haven & Evie Cormac series, beginning with Good Girl, Bad Girl.

    A contrived novel with ridiculous story lines and characters. I pushed my way through this book hoping it would get better, get smarter. it doesn’t. Don’t waste your time or money. This book is not even decent “beach” reading.

    The book was very enjoyable and easy to read, I was actually wanting it to be longer. Lots of twists and turns with a mix of welcomed predictability and surprises. Really liked that it felt present day and thoroughly enjoyed the “Donald Trump” humor.
