Critics Review

This book was wild! I really enjoyed reading this. It was such a roller-coaster. The Fake Wife is a thriller that shocked me more than once! An engrossing story with wild twists, you'll never guess where this book is going. Sharon Bolton is an amazing, gifted writer
Samantha Downing
The Fake Wife had me at page one - utterly addictive and absorbing. I had no idea where it was going, and couldn't stop reading until I found out
Rachel Abbott
Full of the most delightful twists, where nothing and no one is exactly what they seem, this is a thriller of the highest quality that underlines how superb a storyteller Bolton has become. This is Patricia Highsmith territory - and there can be no higher praise.
