This meet-up spotlights My Husband’s Wife, a twisty story of deception and obsession centered on Spyglass, an old house in the seaside village of Hope Falls. Eden Fox, an artist nearing her first exhibition, returns from a run to find her key no longer works, a woman who looks startlingly like her inside, and a man insisting that the stranger is his wife. Months earlier, Birdy, a withdrawn Londoner facing a life-altering diagnosis, inherits Spyglass from a long-lost grandmother and encounters a shadowy clinic that claims to predict the date of a person’s death. As secrets surface and truth blurs, a single home, a single husband, and two women become entangled in a mystery built to keep readers guessing to the final page. The novel has earned praise from Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, Chris Whitaker, and the Washington Post.
