Critics Review

The Other Wife is all about what it means to be a father. It’s also a book about coming to terms with the past in ways that allow us to move on - The Age

Michael Robotham takes many of the tropes of the domestic thriller, but elevates them into something more substantial through his superior writing. - Canberra Weekly

Crime fiction at its most compelling. - Hobart Mercury

This absorbing novel will make you wish there was another O’Loughlin episode to come. - Weekend West

Michael Robotham has hinted that this clever psychological thriller may be the last outing for the Parkinson’s-plagued shrink. If so, it’s a worthy final act. - Qantas Magazine

A crime writer at the top of his game. - The Australian

Michael Robotham is the real deal. - David Baldacci

A superbly crafted thriller with [a] half-dozen credible potential suspects - Courier Mail

About The Author

Michael Robotham

Before becoming a novelist, Michael Robotham was a feature writer and investigative reporter working in Britain, Australia, and America. He collaborated with clinical and forensic psychologists as they assisted police in investigating complex, psychologically driven crimes.

2024 marked the 20-year anniversary of the publication of his debut thriller, The Suspect. This novel introduced clinical psychologist Joe O’Loughlin, sold more than a million copies worldwide, and has been adapted into a major TV series. Michael’s standalone thriller The Secrets She Keeps was also adapted for television.

Michael is the only Australian to twice win the UK’s prestigious Gold Dagger Award for best crime novel, for Life or Death and Good Girl, Bad Girl. He also won the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for When She Was Good. Lying Beside You was shortlisted for the Australian Crime Writers Association’s Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction 2023. Storm Child, his fourth novel in the globally bestselling Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac series, was a No. 1 national bestseller in Australia and was shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction 2025. The White Crow, shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction 2026, is the second book in his Philomena McCarthy series, following When You Are Mine.

Michael lives in Sydney.
