Synopsis

An impossible-to-put-down domestic thriller about secrets and revenge, told from the perspectives of a husband and wife who are the most perfect, and the most dangerous, match for each other
 
Rebecca didn’t know love was possible until she met Paul, a successful, charismatic, married man with a past as dark as her own. Their pain drew them together with an irresistible magnetism; they sensed that they were each other’s ideal (and perhaps only) match.
 
But twenty years later, Paul and Rebecca are drowning as the damage and secrets that ignited their love begin to consume their marriage. Paul is cheating on Rebecca, and his affair gets messy fast. His mistress is stalking them with growing audacity when Rebecca discovers Paul’s elaborate plan to build a new life without her. And though Rebecca is spiraling into an opiate addiction, it doesn’t stop her from coming up with a devious plot of her own, and this one could end absolutely everything.
 
What follows is an unpredictable and stylish game of cat and mouse—a shocking tale of unfaithfulness and unreliability that will keep you racing until the final twist and make you wonder how well you really know your spouse.

Narrated by Erin Bennett, Mark Deakins, George Newbern, Nicol Zanarella, Mike Chamberlain, and Will Damron

3.5 You know what happens when you ASSUME something…. Well, unfortunately for the characters in this novel, none of them have learned that lesson! Or that keeping secrets rarely works out well… Rebecca and Paul have been married for 20 years, despite Paul’s infidelities and Rebecca’s addiction to the......more

Goodreads review by Katie on September 16, 2018

The main issue I had with this book was it felt like the authors ( E.G. Scott is a pseudonym) concentrated so much on this twisted plot and forgot that there needs to be some compelling reason why the reader should be interested in what happens to the characters. I'm all for unlikable characters in......more

Goodreads review by Dennis on October 29, 2018

E.G. Scott is a psuedonym for two writers, one in publishing and one is a screenwriter—and I am in love with both of them! The Woman Inside is a fabulously flawed domestic thriller with original twists and turns, while taking on real issues that our society faces today. Rebecca and Paul appear t......more

Quotes

Praise for The Woman Inside

“From its seize-you-by-throat opening to that jack-in-the-box finale, this slick, sleek thriller held me breathless. Psychological suspense at its brightest and boldest.”—A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

“A marital saga so pitch-black it makes Gone Girl look like the romance of the decade... [The Woman Inside] resembles past smashes like Big Little Lies and The Woman in the Window.—Entertainment Weekly

“Lies, revenge, questionably reliable narrators, deceit—Scott's domestic thriller The Woman Inside has it all.”Real Simple

"One of InStyle’s 7 Books That You Should Resolve To Read This January"

“This twisted domestic thriller hasn't even hit shelves yet, but it's already being adapted as a TV series by Blumhouse, the producers oSharp Objects. Told from the perspective of a husband and wife who are the most perfect, and possibly the most dangerous, match for one another, The Woman Inside is a dark tale of secrets, lies, unfaithfulness, and revenge that keeps readers guessing until the very end.” —Bustle

"Utterly gripping from the outset with compelling characters that leap off the page, plenty of twists to keep you guessing and a killer ending. It is so good!"Jessica Eames, author of Bad Seed

“This debut by a pseudonymous duo builds tension with twists and turns to the very end; as Paul’s lies mount up, Rebecca becomes increasingly addicted and paranoid, and Sheila’s vengeful presence looms. Nonstop tension keeps readers turning pages.”—Booklist

“Scott trades off points of view, each offering a varying level of unreliability, slowly revealing secrets via one dizzying twists after another, guaranteeing you will keep those pages turning.”B&N Reads

“Even mystery fans who pride themselves on figuring out twists in advance will find themselves on a virtual roller-coaster of sharp turns and surprise reveals that keep coming until the final chapter. The duo's debut is an intricately plotted, multi-twist mystery with a refreshing deadpan sense of humor. With multiple unreliable narrators, mystery fans will have a sensational time trying to stay one step ahead of The Woman Inside.”—Shelf Awareness for Readers
