The perfect marriage. The perfect house. The perfect secret…
As I step through the cherry-red door of my new home, I know I should feel like the luckiest woman alive. I have a handsome husband, a beautiful daughter and now the house of my dreams. And to everyone else my life looks perfect…
When the neighbours stop by to welcome us, I tell them my name is Stephanie Hamlin and, under the watchful gaze of my husband Richard, I introduce him and our curly haired little girl Poppy. I smile as wide as I can and desperately hope I can fit in to this exclusive place with its pretty communal gardens. Because I’ve risked everything to be here.
Behind closed doors I try to relax, to unwind in the huge clawfoot bath and forget about my complicated past. It’s hard being the new couple on the street when you’ve got secrets.
Because the truth is, my charming husband isn’t really my husband.
And I’m not Stephanie Hamlin…
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page. If you love Behind Closed Doors, My Lovely Wife and The Perfect Couple, you’ll be hooked.

Title: Good thriller but long read
Review: I enjoyed the story but it felt like it took forever to get through it. Seemed to bounce around and got confusing. Much of the story was repeated repeated too.

Title: Predictable, boring
Review: I thought this sounded good, like a Frieda McFadden read, but definitely not! There was no twist in the story as it was pretty predictable.

Title: Couple?
Review: The story started slowly, but little by little it's hook dug deeper! I found myself wanting to get back to reading it in a quiet room...no distractions! The twists kept coming as each page was turned. Start The New Couple when you can crawl up and read it through!

Title: JUST SO SO....
Review: Another reviewer summed up the ending of this book as "abrupt and predictable". I will add "disappointing". The writer could have made the ending worthy of all the time the reader put into reading this book by adding an ending that would have been jaw dropping. This was not, nor was the epiloge.

Title: The "Shocking Twist" is that there is no twist
Review: I kept waiting for the big twist that never came. I agree with other reviewers - too many characters. So many loose ends. The back of the book gives the whole story away. Lots of repeated conversations. Waste of a read.

Title: Great Book
Review: It started kind of slow, but by part 2 of the book I was hooked! The different viewpoints of the other characters made the book even better. I definitely recommend this book!

Review: What a disappointment. I didnât get past 25% of the book by which time nothing had happened. The writing style doesnât connect to the characters - its abstract and narrative. And the plot is weak - at least the first 25% is.

Review: Ich habe von der Autorin schon einige Bücher gelesen, die mir ganz gut gefallen haben. Dieses ist jedoch ein Reinfall. Eine völlig an den Haaren herbeigezogene, unglaubwürdige Story mit absurden Zufällen, durchwegs unsympathische Protagonisten und ein schwacher Schreibstil. Ist sein Geld nicht wert.
