Mostly though, it was a dark, disturbing read. It will appeal to those who live in the shadow of their spouse’s former partner. It will also serve as a warning for those who enter relationships too quickly, especially when they are vulnerable.We are introduced early in the story to a distraught Amelia. She is the first wife of Nicholas, a handsome and confident man who seems to be perfect in every way on the surface. Soon after this, we meet Elena who meets Nicholas at her mother’s funeral. Elena finds that she is attracted to him and the manner in which he woos her is strategic, planned and controlled by Nicholas who never talks about his life with Amelia. He also reacts badly whenever Elena raises the topic of his deceased wife. It is difficult for Elena to accept that Nicholas is over Amelia when he continues to exhibit photographs of his former spouse in what he claims is his home, and there are traces of her in the master bedroom, make-up clothing etc. It doesn’t take long for Nicholas to show his over-bearing OCD personality and abusive ways.The story is .told from the perspective of both Elena and Amelia interspersed with details about Nicholas’ parents and colleagues and friends of both the women in his life. At times I was screaming for both women to retaliate and teach Nicholas a lesson he would never forget for the verbal and physical abuse he inflicted on them and had to repeatedly remind myself that many women in abusive relationships remain at the table when love is no longer being served.The book is written in 3 parts and more than anything is testament to the lines, never judge a book by its cover, the leopard never changes his spots and every dog has his day.Shocking secrets, lies and betrayal in the book to the final twists and turns at the end, make this a gripping read. The inclusion of what might be termed unexplainable forces made this story different and interesting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MARVELOUS NOVEL!!! *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2019* “The Wife Before Me” was an engrossing book. It kept me up late into the morning, & took a lot of discipline not to read ahead. I was dying to find out how the story ended. I’ve read a lot of British & Australian novels, and novels by New Zealand authors, but not many novels set in Ireland by Irish authors. Laura Elliot’s writing was evocative & moving. The plot wasn’t an unusual one, but the writing & character development were unique & mesmerising. I enjoyed every word & every page. The beautiful images of the Irish countryside were so picturesque I was ready to plan my next vacation to Ireland.At times I found it difficult to continue reading, because Nicholas’s brutality & psychotic actions really pissed me off. I was angry that the b*****d continuously got away with his actions toward Amelia & Elena. I was waiting for his well-deserved punishment.This is the first novel I’ve read by this author & I plan on reading “Guilty” next. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exciting Story with Strong Female Characters *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2019* The Wife Before Me is such an exciting story! Love twists and turns? This one is for you.I'm a huge fan of the female heroine (or two or three of them) in a story and this book delivers. From the very beginning, the reader knows everything is not as it seems (duh, read the back of the back cover!), and I found myself constantly guessing at who was who and WHY. I really admired the way Ms. Elliot grew the cast of characters and how they each played a major role throughout the story.Warning: The main male figure in this book hits women and I really hate the ugly reality of a physically abusive relationship. I'm thankful this author does not sugar coat this awful side of humanity. This book also covers a lot of adult themes, so if you're a young reader, maybe check with mom and dad before starting this story.To sum up my experience with The Wife Before Me, I can't seem to stay up past 930pm very often these days, but this book kept me up until 130am trying to finish it (well, I admit to a nap somewhere around 830pm!) and the ending was well worth it. I look forward to reading another story by Laura Elliot. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/323750537-the-wife-before-me-a-twisty-gripping-psychological-thriller](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/323750537-the-wife-before-me-a-twisty-gripping-psychological-thriller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
