"He says she's here to help. But does she want me gone?"

The Woman in Our Marriage by Victoria Jenkins is full of suspense and perfect for fans of slow burn, compelling and twisty domestic thrillers!

Suzanne is struggling after the tragic loss of her infant daughter. Having a 4 year old son already, Suzanne is finding it difficult to do much of anything because she is weighted down with grief. When her husband Matthew hires Reka, a live in nanny, she begins to help out with their son Noah while Suzanne gets help from her therapist and her friend. But soon, Suzanne starts to see that Matthew and Reka are awfully close for an employer/employee relationship. It seems like Reka is entirely too comfortable in Suzanne's house and around her husband and son. How far will Reka go to be the next woman of the house?

From the prologue I was highly invested in this story! Told in multiple POVs, we get to see the different perspectives of each character. This book does deal with some sensitive subjects including postpartum depression and also infant loss so definitely be aware before reading! The way Jenkins writes these subjects are real, raw, and emotional but also delicately written given the high emotions. I felt like the twists were well placed and written and the ending threw me into a completely different direction! Overall I recommend this book for fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell and also for lovers of domestic thrillers with emotion!

Thank you to NetGalley, Victoria Jenkins, and Bookouture for this ARC!! Publication date is May 16th 2025.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #Bookouture for the book #TheWomanInOurMarriage by #VictoriaJenkins. This book had suspense, manipulation and murder all wrapped up in a huge plot twist. Matthew and Suzanna are trying to put their lives back together after losing their 9 month old daughter. Reka was hired to help out especially while Suzanna can’t handle being a mother to Noah. But Suzanna has noticed something between her husband and Reka. Are they having an affair ? Or is something more sinister going on?

Oh Suzannaaaaaa, I had to. This is a new author for me and I will definitely check out more because this was a good read. The characters were great in this one and the storyline was great it kept the pages turning for me. Definitely will recommend this ones to others.

From the very first chapter, this story had me hooked. It follows Suzanna, a woman overwhelmed by grief and unable to carry on with the daily routines of motherhood and marriage. In an effort to ease the burden, her husband Matthew hires a nanny—but what starts as a helpful solution quickly spirals into something much darker. As Suzanna struggles with her loss, her mental state begins to deteriorate. The line between reality and imagination blurs, and she begins to question everyone around her.

This book was a fast-paced, twist-filled roller coaster. The plot is clever, emotional, and full of suspense. Another fantastic psychological thriller from one of my favourite authors.

Jenkins did a good job trying to throw me off the scent but I zeroed in on one culprit immediately.
This person stuck out like a sore thumb because of several things that the author planted.
The narrative shifts from Suzanne and Matt. At times I did doubt that I was correct in my suspicion but ultimately I was correct.
There are a lot emotional ups and downs in this read!

THE WOMAN IN OUR MARRIAGE was so good! I was hooked from the first chapter. I liked how each chapter was a day of the week. It kept it interesting. The twist was good and the ending was jaw-dropping. I have been a fan of Jenkins for a long time. Her books just keep getting better.

Many thanks for my gifted ARC.

This review will be shared to my Instagram @coffee.break.book.reviews on my tour date.

Suzanna’s husband hires Reka to help support her and their child after tragic events lead her to suffering from PTSD. Suzanna soon starts to suspect that her husband is having an affair with Reka and she is being replaced. Does Reka have ulterior motives?

This sounded like it would be a fun read and I enjoyed the premise. The story had a slow start and remained a slow burn throughout the majority of the story. This ended up being an emotional read and a well written psychological thriller with plenty of twists and turns. I found that even though this was a good book I struggled to stay invested in the story, most likely due to the pacing. Saying that I can see plenty of readers who enjoy slow burn twisty, compelling thrillers really enjoying this one. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy in return for an honest review.

Suzanne is struggling with the loss of her infant daughter so her and her husband, Matthew, hire a live-in nanny to assist with their 4 year old son, Noah. But it seems the new nanny may be getting too close with Matthew…and may want to get Suzanne out of the way?

I really wanted to this story more than I actually did in the end. The prologue grabbed my interest and there were twists and turns that make this a solid read.

However, the reveal of the villain was very anti-climactic for me. I didn’t see it coming exactly but at the same time I was like, “oh okay so it was actually ……” The ending was just very abrupt.

The story is told from multiple POVs and each chapter isn’t always labeled with whose head we are in. This can lead to a bit of confusion at times. I do feel we got a good look into Suzanne’s mind and the postpartum depression-turned-infant-loss that she experienced. I do wish there had been more from Noah. He was an important character but there wasn’t much dialogue to really explain his take on things.

Overall, I do recommend this book and will be checking out other stories from this author.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced review copy.

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘The Woman in Our Marriage’ written by Victoria Jenkins in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Suzanna is suffering from depression following the death of her daughter Annabelle. She finds it difficult to get close to their four-year-old son Noah and is convinced her husband Matthew has feelings for their home help Reka.

Every now and again I come across a novel that I think I’ll enjoy but then struggle to get into and despite the initial chapters pulling me in I found ‘The Woman In Our Marriage’ was one of these. My overwhelming impression was how depressing it was and after stopping reading then returning to it I found I’d lost all enthusiasm I had for the plot and characters before eventually giving up completely. This is purely my own opinion and and I’m sure I’ll be in the minority, and I’m disappointed as I’ve enjoyed other novels by this author in the past, but I’m afraid this one just wasn’t for me.

thank you so much Net galley for this arc. i really enjoyed this book. this story is filled with many twist, and betrayals.short chapters.

This is a new author for me and I am delighted to have discovered her. This is a great book filled with suspense and twists galore. Well worth a read.
Thank you to Nertgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in return for an honest review- great story

I don’t know what I was expecting with jumping into this but it was a roller coaster- the thoughts I had were completely wrong and it was twist after twist! It was a quick read on a night shift but I’m glad I did! My first of this author but will not be the last!

This book started off slow but built into an emotional roller coaster ride. I could not tell what was going on or who really did it in this one!!

Suzanna and Matthew are suffering from the loss of their infant daughter. Their 4 year old son is so traumatized by the death of his sister that he has withdrawn verbally. Matthew hires a nanny to help out with the house and Noah, due to Suzannas failing mental health. Suzanna has been seeing her therapist, and best friend Jess, to cope with the trauma.

The story goes on to unfold what really happened to the baby and how each person was integrated into the situation. Very well written, complex characters and twists galore!

Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture and Victoria Jenkins for allowing me to ARC read this book for my honest review.

Goodness me, this was such a good book. Highly entertaining. Would definitely recommend to others, that's for sure!

This book was impossible to put down! I loved the storyline in this book, it kept my attention the entire time. This book had a lot of depth to it and substance. I loved that each chapter made it feel like I was pulling back another layer. Such a good domestic thriller!

A heart-pounding read which will captivate you from the beginning to the very end! Full of tense moments with a generous dose of red herrings to keep you glued to the page.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!
