The Innocent Wife

By Lisa Regan
The Innocent Wife by Lisa Regan digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Candles are lit and their rich vanilla scent twists its way through the cabin. The table is set for a romantic anniversary dinner with fresh roses dropping crimson petals on crisp white linen. But the woman seated at the table is cold to the touch, and there’s blood trickling down her neck…

 

When Denton’s most loved TV presenter returns home to find his wife dead at the dining table, it shatters the close-knit community. Beautiful and absolutely besotted with each other, Beau and Claudia Collins were idolized for being the perfect couple. But the devastating scene Detective Josie Quinn finds in their remote hideaway has her asking what dark secrets lurk beneath the surface of this seemingly flawless marriage?

 

Beau is grief-stricken by the loss of his kind-hearted wife who gave so much to others as a therapist, but Josie needs to know the significance of the small wooden puzzle box found clutched in Claudia’s hand. A prop in a popular game Beau played with his viewers to test the strength of their relationships, is it a twisted calling card, or a challenge from the killer?

The broken body of one of Beau and Claudia’s assistants is found the next day, a matching little box left in the dirt beside her. It’s clear that if Beau doesn’t start telling the truth about the flaws in his marriage, those dearest to him will die.

 

Caught in a cat and mouse chase with disturbing revelations and a mounting body count at every turn, Josie and her team work night and day to keep Beau’s loved ones safe. What kind of calculating monster would do this? A faded newspaper article about a tragic accident is the break Josie desperately needs. But she may already be too late, an innocent child is in danger…

 

An absolutely gripping rollercoaster of a crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Guaranteed to have you sleeping with the lights on and shouting from the rooftops about the twists, it’s perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

“Thank You NetGalley for an ARC of Lisa Regan’s book The innocent Wife. And thank you Bookouture for allowing me the opportunity to read an advanced copy. Thank you Lisa Regan for writing this amazing book. I have been waiting for what seems like forever to read The Innocent Wife. I just finished and now I’m mad at myself. I tried so hard to go slower because I never want Lisa Regan’s books to end. Lisa is the kind of author who pulls you right in from the first sentence. I mean, I already know when her next 5 books come out that I will be reading them. I don’t even need to read the synopsis to know that it will be a 5 star read. If I was asked who my favorite character was in any book it wouldn’t be Pooh (Winnie) who is my all time favorite character ever. It would 100% be JOSIE QUINN. She is my bff in my head. I feel like I’ve known her forever and I want to invite her out to dinner. If you haven’t already read a Lisa Regan book. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GOOOOOOO RIGHT NOW! I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa a few months ago and I was so Star Struck and excited. She is the best. So sweet and friendly. The only thing negative I can say about this book: Beau is a creep. And Lisa does an amazing job of making him that way.”
