About this ebook
Jacqui Rose's The Good Wife is a heart-pounding thriller perfect for fans of Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers.
Psychologist Ava Barclay wants to be a good wife.
Ava keeps a lot of her clients’ secrets, but no-one, especially her cop husband, Tony, has any idea how many secrets of her own she is hiding. Fuelled by past trauma, she is on a path to self-destruction: drinking too much, making bad choices, and numbing her pain with one-night stands.
When her father, Billy, is attacked and left for dead, Ava discovers that her problems are about to get a lot worse. She must head into the dark streets of Soho and into a seedy world of fear and mistrust if she is to find the truth about her family.
All Ava ever wanted was to be a good wife, but she may be about to learn that being bad is in her genes . . .

'One of my favourite authors' – Mel Sherratt
