The New Couple: An absolutely addictive psychological thriller with a shocking twist

Description:

The perfect marriage. The perfect house. The perfect secret…

As I step through the cherry-red door of my new home, I know I should feel like the luckiest woman alive. I have a handsome husband, a beautiful daughter and now the house of my dreams. And to everyone else my life looks perfect…

When the neighbours stop by to welcome us, I tell them my name is Stephanie Hamlin and, under the watchful gaze of my husband Richard, I introduce him and our curly haired little girl Poppy. I smile as wide as I can and desperately hope I can fit in to this exclusive place with its pretty communal gardens. Because I’ve risked everything to be here.

Behind closed doors I try to relax, to unwind in the huge clawfoot bath and forget about my complicated past. It’s hard being the new couple on the street when you’ve got secrets.

Because the truth is, my charming husband isn’t really my husband.

And I’m not Stephanie Hamlin…

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page. If you love Behind Closed Doors, My Lovely Wife and The Perfect Couple, you’ll be hooked.

Don’t start this book unless you can finish in one setting. It’s a page turner - keeps you on the edge of your seat from page one. Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good thriller but long read

J.R. · October 14, 2024

I enjoyed the story but it felt like it took forever to get through it. Seemed to bounce around and got confusing. Much of the story was repeated repeated too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard read

C.B. · October 4, 2025

I got this book to read based off the reading on the back of the book, but also based off the comments. I do not agree that it was hard to put down. To me it was hard to pick up. I found that there were so many characters it was hard to know who was who. Then it just took so long to get to the exciting part of the book. It does come it just takes a minute to get there.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have never read a book faster in my life!

S.W. · June 8, 2025

This is a page turner, it was so hard to put down. The twists and turns had me curious to see what would happen next.Super read for the dull days of summer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Couple?

l. · July 7, 2024

The story started slowly, but little by little it's hook dug deeper! I found myself wanting to get back to reading it in a quiet room...no distractions! The twists kept coming as each page was turned. Start The New Couple when you can crawl up and read it through!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Read. Poorly labeled.

J.C. · April 23, 2023

Possibly Spoiler Alert, but important if you only read Psych thriller:It was a great read, but not a psychological thriller. There is no twist, or surprise. The storyline is very upfront, you know what’s “happening” the whole book because it’s very clearly laid out for you. It was a good read, but giving 3 stars because there is no shocking twist as advertised - or if there is, it’s “revealed” by about 20% through the book, and the rest is just one character getting everyone else to believe it.I would consider it more “suspenseful” and would read a other by the author when I’m taking the occasional break from psych thrillers!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read but slow at times!

This book started out really well and was moving along nicely but then it became too redonent with each characters description of the plot.

Page turner

Could not put it down! Great read, a real page turner. Would recommend, such a good twist! A definite 5 stars.

Disappointing

D.T. · January 4, 2023

What a disappointment. I didn’t get past 25% of the book by which time nothing had happened. The writing style doesn’t connect to the characters - its abstract and narrative. And the plot is weak - at least the first 25% is.

I liked it

b.c. · October 28, 2024

Got a bit boring/ repetitive when character POV changes but otherwise an interesting & easy read. No huge twist but I was steadily entertained.

Excellent

o. · May 6, 2025

What a brilliant read. There are so manytwists and turns. And to see the stories for different perspectives. Would definitely recommend reading this

Great read

K.C. · February 3, 2023

I love how every few chapters is showing a different characters point of view. Good story line and had some interesting twists
