The Replacement Wife: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
The #1 International bestselling author of Pretty Little Wife returns with another thrilling domestic suspense novel that asks, how many wives and girlfriends need to disappear before your family notices?
Elisa Wright is a mom and wife, living a nice, quiet life in a nice, quiet town. She's also convinced her brother-in-law is a murderer. Josh has one dead wife and one missing fiancée, and though he grieved for them he starts dating someone new. Elisa fears for that woman's safety, and she desperately wants to know what happened to her friend, Josh's missing fiancée.
Searching for clues means investigating her own family. And she doesn't like what she finds. A laptop filled with incriminating information. Other women.
But when Elisa becomes friends with Josh's new girlfriend and starts to question things she thinks are true, Elisa wonders if the memories of a horrible incident a year ago have finally pushed her over the edge and Josh is really innocent. With so much at stake, Elisa fights off panic attacks and a strange illness. Is it a breakdown or something more? The race is on to get to the truth before another disappearance because there's a killer in the family...or is there?

- content:
"I devoured The Replacement Wife. I absolutely loved every minute of this wild ride. I'm left in awe of Kane's ability to suck readers in from page one. I could not stop turning the pages. Every reveal rocketed up the tension...so well-done and gave me that precious can't-wait-until-I-can-go-back-to-my-book feeling. Fast-paced and super addictive!" — Ashley Winstead, author of In My Dreams I Hold a Knife
"Kane delivers another fast-paced domestic thriller that's sure to please fans of psychological suspense and family drama." — Library Journal
"Darby Kane deserves credit for dispensing with anything resembling a slow burn in The Replacement Wife. There is a rollicking, almost absurdist tone to Kane's writing that kept me engaged...Finally, after several doses of sociopathy, more than a little gaslighting and arguments galore, nearly all of Elisa's suspicions are confirmed in the worst possible way. "Nearly" saves room for a final surprise I didn't foresee." — New York Times Book Review
"[An] engrossing psychological thriller. Kane (Pretty Little Wife) doubles up the action with two unreliable characters caught up in gaslighting, family secrets and betrayal." — Shelf Awareness
"Pretty Little Wife is domestic suspense at its best, with a chilling premise that keeps you guessing to the last page. Add Darby Kane to your must-read list! — Wendy Corsi Staub, New York Times bestselling author on Pretty Little Wife
"I devoured it in two days. This is the type of thriller I love the most: A taut domestic suspense with just a shade of police procedural woven in." — Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author, on Pretty Little WIfe
"I love it when I find a thriller so fun I can't put it down, like this one from Darby Kane." — Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author, on Pretty Little Wife
"Debut mystery author Kane blends tense domestic suspense with procedural details and legal thriller–like verbal sparring. A page-turner built on skillfully layered plotting and an intriguing protagonist." — Booklist (starred review) on Pretty Little Wife
"Stylish and provocative...well-drawn new characters...subtle twists that nudge the plot in unexpected directions... Pretty Little Wife delivers on its promise."
— Toronto Star on Pretty Little Wife"Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane delights in subverting the expectations of readers" — Popsugar on Pretty Little Wife
"Pretty Little Wife explores the consequences of unacknowledged trauma and dares to ask whether murder is ever justified. It's an exciting departure for HelenKay Dimon, the bestselling romance author for whom Darby Kane is a pseudonym. There's certainly no guarantee of a happily ever after, though there is hope for hard-won redemption." — BookPage on Pretty Little Wife

Elisa Wright, the protagonist of this convoluted domestic suspense novel from Kane (Pretty Little Wife), is in a fragile mental state following a traumatic occurrence at her former job in administration at a Philadelphia hospital. Now, 11 months after the incident, she’s working from home part-time as an accountant and not venturing far from her neighborhood. Elisa becomes even more stressed after she learns that her brother-in-law, Josh Wright, just seven months after the mysterious disappearance of his fiancée, her friend Abby, is serious about a new woman. She’s shocked by Josh’s cavalier disregard for Abby’s fate and begins to believe that Josh knows more about Abby’s whereabouts than he’s admitting. When she voices this opinion, Josh and her husband urge her to see a therapist or get additional medication. Are these remedies what she needs, or are they merely a means of distracting her from discovering the truth? Kane does gaslighting scenes well, but they get repetitive after a while, and Eliza takes too long to take even tentative steps toward regaining her sense of self. Kane has enough talent to suggest she can do better next time. Agent: Laura Bradford, Bradford Literary.

Elisa Wright is convinced that her brother-in-law, Josh, has murdered his missing fianc�e, Abby. It's crystal clear to Elisa: Josh's first wife died in a suspicious accident, and now he's showing no concern for Abby, blithely declaring his love for another woman he secretly dated before Abby disappeared. To everyone else, Elisa is caught up in PTSD-sparked paranoia; her slow recovery from a devastating workplace shooting makes her easy prey for Josh's relentless gaslighting campaign. Fortunately, Elisa has a secret weapon: Abby's computer holds correspondence linking Josh to the murder of another wife, Lauren, who's been hidden from the investigation into Abby's disappearance. Elisa determinedly battles increasingly powerful panic attacks to unveil Josh's murderous past and bring Abby home. Gaslighting and unreliable narrators are common in contemporary psychological thrillers, but Kane uses her relatable characters and tightly calibrated pacing (as she did in Pretty Little Wife, 2019) to give her story a compelling edge.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Kane (Pretty Little Wife) returns with another domestic suspense novel that explores the relationships among extended family members and the question of loyalty. Does one's family always deserve the benefit of the doubt when a relative displays behavior that is downright suspicious, and perhaps murderous? Elisa Wright struggles with this dilemma because her husband's brother, Josh, who has a dead wife and a missing fianc�e, has begun dating another woman. Elisa was very close with Abby, Josh's fianc�e, before she disappeared and cannot believe he would give up the search and move on. So, despite her husband's incredulity and continued defense of his brother, Elisa begins investigating. What she finds raises even more questions, though others are beginning to question her stability. As she battles the pushback from her husband and Josh, and also an increasingly worrisome illness, the truth remains tantalizingly out of reach. Is the new girlfriend in danger, and is her own family at risk? VERDICT Kane delivers another fast-paced domestic thriller that's sure to please fans of psychological suspense and family drama.--Cynthia Price, Francis Marion Univ. Lib., Florence, SC
