The manual on coercive control was meant to save lives.
Her husband read it like a blueprint.
Nina Burnett has spent eight years helping women recognize when a relationship has become dangerous. She knows the warning signs. She wrote them down.
Then one of her clients is found dead at the bottom of a staircase.
Accidental fall, says the ruling. But Pam had been building a record of something she found - and she was only eight days away from acting on it when she ran out of time.
Nina starts asking questions. Quietly. Carefully.
That is when she notices her husband already knows the answers.
Greg has her supervisor's private number, though Nina never gave it to him. He calls the detective before Nina gets the chance. He turns her grief into concern, concern into doubt, and doubt into a story everyone around her is ready to believe.
Then Nina finds the workbook on his desk.
Her workbook.
Twelve chapters are tabbed. In the margin beside the chapter on destroying a woman's credibility, two words are written in pencil:
Already done.
Pam left behind evidence someone will kill to keep buried. Nina may be the only person who can expose it.
But first, she has to survive the man who has studied her longer than she ever knew.
The Wife He Studied: A Marriage Built on Lies is a domestic suspense thriller of gaslighting, coercive control, and a woman fighting to be believed before it is too late.
