The New Wife

I loved it. JP Delaney has a gift for the unputdownable story … One twist in particular left me open-mouthed. Brilliant stuff. This’ll be in a lot of holiday luggage come the summer * Mick Herron *
A characteristically unsettling thriller with an unreliable narrator who reels you in and a twist that made me pivot. With its sultry Mallorcan setting and du Maurier allusions, this is a summer read which exudes menace and is crying out for a TV adaptation * Sarah Vaughan *
Mysterious, suspenseful, and suffused with paranoia; I read The New Wife in one sitting, and I couldn’t put this sinister book down * Alex Michaelides *
Charming and engrossing from the outset, but with a creeping and deeply unsettling sense of menace. I loved the Du Maurier vibes * Sharon Bolton *
The tension ratchets up to boiling point in this sun-soaked sizzler about a man struggling to do what’s right when everything around him is very wrong * Victoria Selman *
Like Daphne du Maurier he sustains the ambiguity deftly and deliciously - whenever a resolution looks imminent, a new development preserves the enigma * Sunday Times *
Such a phenomenal summer holiday read. Think The White Lotus meets The Housewives of Beverly Hills … this is a gripping and sophisticated thriller that will have you racing through the pages * Glamour *
A sun-soaked, pacy beach read * The i *
Fast-paced and exhilarating, you’ll be hooked! * Heat *
Another terrific book from a first-class writer * Daily Mail *
Thrilling * Crime Monthly *
Another winner from J P Delaney * Belfast Telegraph *
Finn must decide whether the duo are victims of circumstance or utterly ruthless in this tense, twisty thriller * Candis *
As accomplished as du Maurier and just as unsettling – Cara Hunter
Captivating, disturbing, and shocking … I enjoyed every minute of it * Samantha Downing *
The king of psychological thrillers … Delaney’s labyrinthine plotting again keeps the reader guessing, with twists and turns in plentiful supply. Gripping to the very end, The New Wife is a compelling and brilliant read * Hot Press *
