Description

I don't know why a couple would still stay in a marriage when it's clear that they're not in-love with each other anymore. I mean, all things considered, it's better to just walk away and spare yourselves the trouble of heartache and guilt. But things are not as they seem. Fern is not as naive as she seems. They all have their secrets and especially Drew has a reason for the move.

The Doctor’s Wife - Goodreads

Sometimes I like when a story is wrapped up in a pretty little bow and all loose ends seem to be covered, but there was just too much explaining going on. When Drew mentioned something in his chapter, Fern would explain the situation even further in her’s. It was repetitive and redundant.I also enjoyed the audiobook narrated by Sarah Durham and David Wayman for an engaging performance for all voices. The story is told from alternating POVs, Fern’s and Drew’s. This was an engrossing, fast read; I couldn’t put it down. You may hate some (or all!) of the characters, but you will enjoy this domestic thriller with its twists and turns. A very entertaining read! I think this would have been a more "tense" thriller if we didn’t already know so much of the story. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Wooden first novel about the trouble that ensues when the wife of an obstetrician who performs abortions has an affair with a local artist married to a deranged pro-lifer.

THE DOCTOR’S WIFE | Kirkus Reviews THE DOCTOR’S WIFE | Kirkus Reviews

First off, I hated the female character—Fern. Boring, predictable and uninteresting. I don't know how to feel about this book. I didn't like it. Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. Some details and subplots just felt extraneous. Take, for example, the details that Drew cheated on his med school exams and partook in malpractice. I guess that there was some connection to his devious behaviors when he decided to not help Rory, but the link wasn’t strong enough.My husband is a doctor. He's smart and charming and everybody trusts him. Except me. On the surface, it looks like I have it all - the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, perfect life. But it's far from the truth. Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should have been a fresh start for us both. Except I discovered my husband has been lying to me again. Fern is not happy moving from the city to the countryside. But Drew convinces her they can spend more time together as his patient load will be less. Yeah, right? However, it is all about what Drew wants, and he usually gets his way. It's very interesting the way this story is presented. Right off the bat you are allowed to know things that are usually revealed much later in the story. But that's the thing, this is less a mystery than it is a confession or more accurately, a not so humble brag. There is a lot of telling because both Fern and her husband Drew (that's Doctor Drew to anyone in earshot) are so very proud of their manipulations and secrets. If they can't tell anyone else of their "accomplishments", they will at least tell us. An entertaining popcorn thriller, clever and disturbing—however, I wish it had a little more sarcastic dark humor. Even though I did not enjoy it quite as much as The Couple in the Cabin (his BEST, I have read thus far and Top books of 2022) and his recent holiday thriller, The New Year's Party; however, THE DOCTOR'S WIFE had no likable characters but was a fun, unpredictable twisty suspense. Except I’ve discovered my husband has been lying to me again. He’s using the power he has in his job to mess with people’s lives, and to get exactly what he wants – no matter who it hurts.
