She Was Never Your Wife: Psychological Thriller
He was looking for the perfect wife. She was looking for the perfect victim. A gripping, staccato-paced psychological thriller.
Berlin, 6:14 AM. Lucas wakes up to an empty bed. His wife is gone—no note. Just her wedding ring, perfectly placed. The apartment looks untouched. But something is wrong.
She doesn’t answer her phone. Her belongings have vanished. The neighbors claim they never saw her. And when Lucas calls the police, they can’t find a single record of Julia Schwarz—no ID, no passport, no trace.
Then he finds a Czech bank card under the bed. Not Julia’s. Different name, different identity. Days later, a blurry surveillance photo arrives in his inbox. Just one line in Don’t forget what you promised.
The deeper Lucas digs, the worse it gets. Friends start questioning his sanity. Officials dismiss his claims. And a voice on the phone warns him to stop asking questions—if you want to stay alive.
Desperate for answers, Lucas follows the trail to Prague, chasing a woman who may have never existed. But someone is always one step ahead—and they’re erasing more than evidence.

I enjoyed the first half. You weren’t sure what was real and what was fake. Then it sort of fizzled out. End was kind of so so.

She Was Never Your Wife is one of the most gripping psychological thrillers I've read in a long time. The moment I started, I was completely hooked. The atmosphere is incredibly tense, the pacing is perfect, and the characters are all so well-developed.
The writing is fantastic. I felt so invested in the main character, Lucas; his story is both compelling and heartbreaking. The plot is a brilliant, twisting maze of an investigation, and every time he uncovers a new clue, it just leads to more questions. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
And the reveal about Julia, his missing wife, at the end was so fascinating. It really adds a whole new dimension to the story.
If you're looking for a short, clever thriller that will keep you guessing and won't let you go till the very end, you need to read this book.
