Review An Amazon Best Book of April 2022: If it’s true that “we’re only as sick as our secrets,” then the sicknesses piling up in the affluent Aston family in The Younger Wife make them overdue for a reckoning: shoplifting, emotional overeating, and Dad trading in his Alzheimer’s-afflicted wife for a younger, blonde version (with a few secrets of her own). Then there’s the church wedding that morphs into a church murder. After opening with the blood-spattered nuptials, Hepworth takes us back to the engagement lunch, where the first domino fell. But, many other secrets pop up, most notably in mom’s hot water bottle. Hepworth has a knack for writing characters readers will feel they have known and loved for years. Here, she also deftly coils humor, mental health issues, and more, around a story you think is a mesmerizing whodunit until it reveals itself as a whydunit all along. -Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor From the author of The Good Sister, the breakout New York Times bestseller and “stunningly clever thriller” (People), comes Sally Hepworth’s latest novel of domestic suspense about the tangled vines of family secrets.Smart, suspenseful, brimming with secrets.
