Wow!!! What an amazing, gripping thriller!

My first by Victoria and definitely not my last. The story of Suzanna and Matt grabbed me from the first page. The Woman In Our Marriage will have you thinking you know what happened. Trust me, you do NOT. Not the 2nd time either. This twisty thriller has it all - a beautifully written story with so many twists and turns your head will spin, and it ends in a tidy little bow that brings it all together.

This was my first by her, but definitely not the last. If you like deep seated emotionally charged thrillers, this is for you!!!

I finished reading "The Woman in Our Marriage" by Victoria Jenkins, and I must say, it is an absolute page-turner that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The narrative is so gripping that I found myself unable to put it down; I was truly hooked from the beginning. Jenkins masterfully weaves a tale filled with jaw-dropping moments and plot twist after plot twist, making this book an addicting read. Each chapter left me eager for more, as the suspense escalated beautifully throughout the story. It definately is a compelling novel that would captivate your attention and provide an exhilarating reading experience, look no further than this remarkable work. Highly recommended!

I was literally gripped from the beginning to the end. There were times I thought I'd worked things out but then there'd be another twist to keep me on the edge of my seat. Absolutely brilliant, nail biting read.

Wow, what a rollercoaster! This book has me hooked from page 1 and I was gripped by the unusual, but also emotional plot. I enjoyed the various twists and turns and the ending was amazing!
I’d definitely recommend to anyone who this genre and author.

Suzanne isn’t doing very well. A year ago, her infant daughter died in a horrible accident, and now she’s struggling to take care of herself, her husband Matthew, and their four-year-old son, Noah. She had postpartum depression after having Annabelle, and after the child’s death, she developed a whole new set of mental issues. Being depressed, anxious, hallucinating and possibly psychotic made her unable to function, so her husband hired Reka, a young woman from Hungary, to help out around the house.

Reka has only been at their house for a few months when Suzanne starts to suspect that the woman they hired has ulterior motives. There was a long, blonde hair on Matthew’s side of the bed - how did it get there? Matthew and Reka are always whispering to each other - what are they being so secretive about? Noah won’t speak to his mother and is in his own world now that his sister is gone, but he shows some emotion when around Reka - why won’t he open up to his mom?

This is your basic “is the nanny sleeping with the husband” thriller, with a couple of twists. Suzanne is such an unreliable character because of the mental health issues and all the drugs her friend/therapist Jess has her on (and don’t think Jess hasn’t noticed that they seem to be disappearing quickly). I wish her work as a writer was more of a focus, as well as her relationship with her husband. Noah was a compelling character; I’d also have liked to hear his side of things. This could have been a bit longer without losing its page turner qualities, but it was still an engrossing story that was easy to read in one sitting. 3.5 stars, rounded up!

The Woman in Our Marriage by Victoria Jenkins

I was hooked from the first sentence. Suzanna is living through grief, while also suspicious that her husband is having an affair with their son’s nanny. Fact and fiction begin to blur as she navigates her way in her new reality. Pair that with deception, obsession and jealousy and you have one fast paced novel!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the e-ARC. This is an honest review.

ate! licked, devoured, and licked the plate clean. now this is how you write a mf thriller that keeps you second-guessing the whole time. this was insane. instant 5 stars no questions.

if you’re looking for a thriller that’ll hook you with suspense and instantly pull you into its world, look no further than *the woman in our marriage*. this was everything. i loved it sm. the plot twist slapped me across the face so hard i couldn’t control my breathing. my skeletons have not stopped rattling.

oh my golly gosh. are we ok?no im not either. because woza! this was brilliant. perfect. done to a superb level. the thrills, the tension, the grip it has on you so you dont want to put it down but need to remember a human Does infact need sleep. and well this book has me in its grips from start to finish.
it was heart breaking at points and i felt so much for the mother and son in this. and i was questioning everyone by the end and wondering how this was going to wrap it. just what the hell was going on here?
Suzanne isnt coping after the loss of her child. so her husband does the noble thing right and brings ins someone to do what she cant. and thats look after her young son. bu soon Suzanne spots clues that this new woman is actually looking after her husband a bit too much.
but nothing is adding up. and things arent making sense. and what is true and what is down to a grieving poorly mum?
should we actually be questioning the mother. or or or....jsut read it you wont regret it and you will love the finale you are given.

**4.5 stars**

After the devastating loss of Suzanna’s daughter Annabelle in a tragic accident, she never thought she’d recover. Grief-stricken and barely coping, her husband Matthew tried to keep their lives from falling apart — for her sake and for their young son, Noah. To help at home, he hired Reka, a young woman who quickly became a mother figure to Noah in all the ways she no longer could be. Reka cares for him deeply — almost too deeply.
But something has shifted. Reka is no longer just helping around the house. She’s grown close to Matthew — too close. At first, it was just passing glances and quiet conversations. Now, it’s clear: she’s being pushed out of her own family.
She’ll do anything to hold onto her son. But as the tension between Matthew and Reka intensifies, she begins to see the truth — she’s not just being replaced. She’s trapped in something far more dangerous. And not everyone will make it out alive.

Just a heads-up before anything else: make sure to check the trigger warnings before starting this book — there are strong themes around child and infant loss, as well as postnatal depression and psychosis. These are heavy topics and they're woven throughout the story.
That said, this book had me hooked from the very beginning. The suspense starts early and keeps building, and with every chapter, you start to question everyone. The short chapters from different characters' points of view keep things moving fast, and honestly, every time I thought I had it figured out — boom, another twist!
What I really loved was how the story explored the emotional and psychological side of the characters. It really digs into how far people will go to protect the ones they love, and it does it in a way that feels intense but believable.
If you're into psychological thrillers or just love a book that keeps you guessing, I'd recommend this one. Just be prepared — it's an emotional ride, but such a good one.

Thank You @Netgalley and @Bookouture for allowing me to review this ARC.

i really liked this book, was interesting to work out what was going to happen and wanted to keep reading! was a good pace and chapters were short so kept me really engaged.

Suzanna and her husband are still grieving the death of their daughter. To help Suzanna manage the house and their preschool aged son, the couple hires a live in nanny, named Reka. Suzanna starts to think Reka is trying to steal her family from her, but can’t be sure it’s not all in her head.
The Woman in our Marriage is a quick read with several twists and characters you will love.

The woman in our marriage is A quick but explosive read. Gripping from page 1 right up until the ending. One to recommend. 5* from me. My thanks to the publisher & NetGalley for the advance reader copy.

An exciting thriller read with twists that keep you guessing till the end! Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

When Suzanne loses her baby her husband decides to hire a nanny to look after their son, thinking this will help his wife.

This is a good family drama/thriller and I really enjoyed my reading time.

The suspense is tense and the twists are fabulous.

This is a well told story and I really think it will be on every reader Summer holiday reads..

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

We meet Suzanne and Matthew, trying to cope with the loss of their daughter while at the same time, needing to take care of their son, Noah. Matthew even hires a young woman, Reka, to help them out. Everything could only get better from here, right? Wrong. Because Reka seems to start taking more care of Matthew than his son....

This book was twisty, emotional and very gripping. I was rooting for poor Suzanna, who was struggling with her mental health after everything that has happened. Understandably so. It was a little hard to follow everything that happened with all the people involved, but still very much recommended! 4,5 stars from me for this one!

Suzanne and her husband have suffered such tragedy in their lives having lost a baby girl they do have another child Noah but Suzanne has never been the same since that terrible day, her husband hires a nanny to help as she just can’t cope with daily life anymore.

Her friend Jess is a god send and helps her no end and tells her that she is very suspicious of the relationship between Reka the nanny and her husband and thinks they are having an affair after she finds a blonde hair on her pillow.

There were a lot of twists in this story and you just had to keep reading.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for an ARC

Not sure how, or why anyone would invite an attractive younger woman to move in and take care of their husband and child. All she's doing is pointing out your flaws and weakness.
But still this book was amazing. Loved every second!

This is a dark read about a woman struggling to raise her son after loosing her baby daughter in very tragic circumstances. Her husband thinking he’s helping brings in a nanny but as she struggles to bond with her son her mental health is spiralling and she feels like she is loosing control not only of herself but also her marriage. Did she do something to her baby and why is her son so scared of her. This is a great read which will keep you guessing till the very end. Not to be missed!!!
