Benjamin and Gwyn look like the perfect couple. But I know all of Benjamin’s secrets. I know what he did to his first wife…

Sitting at the granite counter cradling my wine, I gaze around the sprawling kitchen of Benjamin and Gwyn’s beautiful Seattle home. I watch as Benjamin crosses the room and enfolds Gwyn in his strong arms. They share a gentle kiss. What a genius actor he is—even better than me.

She wears a simple ruby-red dress, her large, too-flashy engagement ring catching the light. She’s totally at home here, but I know another woman used to live in this house.

Madeline chose that wallpaper, she used to hang her silk dresses in the huge closet down the hall. The official story is that she disappeared, but I know the truth. They killed her. Her husband and her best friend. Benjamin always wanted her money. Gwyn always wanted to be her.

They’re both such good liars. But so am I. I wonder what they’re thinking. I bet I’m the only one thinking of revenge…

Madeline didn’t get her happily ever after. And neither will they.

My Opinion

Never Trust the Husband by Jessica Payne is a fast-paced thriller with all the secret ingredients. The plot is set between two timelines, which creates a sense of interest right from the first page. Although, at some point, the story was a little bit predictable. But, it would be a great start for a thriller lover. I loved Benjamin's character, which has been given a dual shade. I felt that Gwyn's character could have been deeper to arouse further interest in the story.

Climax was too simple for me, and I felt it could have been more thrilling. There are a few key moments throughout the story that keep you hooked until the end. The book creates a nice atmosphere, due to which I finished it within one sitting. Definitely, the book deserves 4 stars.
