Helpful Score: 2

In the same vein as Gone Girl, The Silent Wife is a fascinating psychological thriller. The narration is tossed back and forth between wife Jodi and husband Todd -- both unreliable and semi-loathsome for their own reasons.

Harrison handles the plot masterfully -- I couldn't stop turning the pages. I rank this among the best suspense fiction I've read in recent years, on par with Gillian Flynn, Sophie Hannah and other gold standards of the genre today.

I would highly recommend this story for everyone who loves to watch an author peel back the layers of a relationship layer by gritty layer, and revealing the dirty little secrets hidden in some couples' closets.
