About this listen

He married me despite my darkest secret. But am I safe, now that I know his?

From the outside, my marriage to Zach was perfect: dream home, a perfect baby girl, and passionate, all-consuming love. When we met, I confessed my darkest secret to him, and he never judged me for it. Instead, he vowed to always protect me - whatever the cost.

But as I cradle my gorgeous baby, I have to accept that the husband who used to be my everything has changed. At first, it was little things: expecting me to keep to a strict schedule, picking out my clothes for me. Now, he controls every aspect of my life: from how much money I have, to when I leave the house and whom I can see.

One fateful night, a young woman is found murdered, and Zach is a potential suspect. Turning toward me, a look of warmth returning to his eyes, he swears he’s innocent - and I realize there is only one solution. If I agree to be his alibi, he will keep my secret, and our daughter can grow up in a loving home. In that moment, I do what any faithful wife would do: I stand by him.

But I know deep down, only one of us will make it out of this marriage alive.

A twist-filled psychological thriller from USA Today best-selling author Carey Baldwin. Fans of The Wife Between Us, The Marriage, and Gone Girl will be totally addicted to The Marriage Secret.

Entertaining Rollercoaster

Thoroughly entertaining story that kept me interested all throughout. Such a puzzle that you thought was predictable but not at all as it turns out. Very interesting storyline.

Yet another tell with no show

If 90% of your twist is revealed in the epilogue with no context included in the actual book, it's not a good story. Of course no one sees it coming, it makes no logical sense when you've never had any of the plot even hinted at. A good thriller drops clues, red herrings, keeps you guessing, builds suspense. The only suspense was built by the MMCs controlling behaviour, but that also fizzled out. Not for me, I won't be reading more from this author.

Fantastic narration & story

When a book builds it’s characters & world so nicely as this one does, it’s easy to get caught up until the thrilling end.
Unfortunately my library is filled with half finished books that haven’t kept my interest.
This one did.
Great voice changes, I always knew who said what.
Great storyline, kept me thinking it was going to go one way, then it would go another.
Over and over again.
I would even read it again!
Perfect if you like domestic setting thrillers.
Makes it much more fun when it feels like it could maybe happen in your neighborhood!
