En av årets stora thrillersuccéer

»En djävulskt smart katt-och-råtta-thriller.« New York Times

Hon är inte den du tror...Vanessa Thompson har blivit lämnad för en yngre kvinna av sin exmake Richard. Han är nu förlovad med Nellie, och Vanessa är svartsjuk och besatt av sin ersättare. Och av tanken på att till varje pris stoppa deras giftermål. I alla fall är det så det verkar. Den andra kvinnan är en isande thriller som skildrar de komplexa hemligheterna i vad som på ytan varit ett avundsvärt äktenskap och hur farligt det kan vara att ignorera sanningen i kärlekens namn.

Den andra kvinnan [The Wife Between Us, 2018], hennes thrillerdebut tillsammans med Greer Hendricks, blev en omedelbar New York Times Bestseller när den släpptes och den har också valts till en av årets mest oumbärliga böcker i Wall Street Journal och Glamour.

Greer Hendriks y Sarah Pekkanen exploran las complejidades del matrimonio, las relaciones entre mujeres, y las peligrosas verdades que ignoramos en nombre del amor.

Vanessa, de tiene treinta y siete años se ha divorciado recientemente de su marido adinerado y se encuentra postrada en cama en el apartamento de su tía en Nueva York, sintiéndose como si estuviera anclada a ese lugar. No tiene hijos, no tiene dinero ni tampoco amigos verdaderos. Richard, su exesposo carismático y apasionado era su vida entera. Cuando se da cuenta que ahora él está comprometido con la mujer con quien tuvo una aventura su mundo se hace trizas. Se imagina a Richard susurrando las mismas cosas que solía decirle a ella: voy a hacerte tan feliz. Tú eres mi mundo. Solo puede pensar que su reemplazo ahora tiene la familia que ella quiere tan desesperadamente.

A medida que crece su obsesión, Vanessa comienza a rastrear a la mujer joven y hermosa que intervino en su matrimonio. Acechándola. Esperando el momento oportuno para hacer lo que sea necesario para impedir la boda. Faltan solo unas semanas para la boda, y todo está listo. Nellie parece ser como el resto de mujeres jóvenes que se mudan a Manhattan para comenzar su vida adulta. Comparte ropa con su compañera de habitación y lucha para reducir los gastos en su tarjeta de crédito y su cintura. Pero no es tan despreocupada como intenta aparentar.

En su mente, ella lo llama «el incidente», un secreto muy bien guardado que la obligó a huir de Florida y que le impide caminar a su apartamento sola por la noche. Es la razón por la cual tiene un bate de béisbol junto a su cama, y tres cerraduras dobles en la puerta de su casa. Cuando conoce a Richard, este le dice que es soltero y le promete mantenerla a salvo. Pero entonces comienzan las misteriosas llamadas telefónicas. Alguien voltea la fotografía suya que está sobre la mesita de noche de Richard. Y el pañuelo de su papá, el que ella planeaba usar para atar su bouquet, desaparece. Cuando Nellie se da cuenta que talvez la ex de Richard no quiere dejarlo ir, la persigue el temor de que alguien la está vigilando. Alguien que quiere hacerle daño. Pero ¿quién?

Una historia que gira alrededor de los complejos problemas psicológicos que yace en el corazón de un peligroso enredo romántico. Un thriller psicológico con giros trepidantes que cautivará a los lectores desde la primera escena hasta el sorprendente final.
