A delicious twist on a Gothic classic, The Wife Upstairs combines Southern charm with atmospheric domestic suspense, perfect for fans of B.A. Paris and Megan Miranda.
Meet Jane, a broke dog-walker in Birmingham, Alabama, working in the upscale Thornfield Estates. It’s a place where no one notices if Jane takes discarded items from her wealthy clients’ homes. Her luck changes when she meets Eddie Rochester, the estate’s enigmatic and recently widowed resident. Eddie’s wife, Bea, drowned in a boating accident, leaving behind a mystery.
Jane sees Eddie as her chance for security. As they grow closer, Jane becomes haunted by the legend of Bea, a beautiful and ambitious woman who founded a successful southern lifestyle brand. Jane worries she can’t measure up and wonders if she can win Eddie’s heart before her past—or his—catches up with her.
With sharp suspense, wit, and a fresh, feminist twist, The Wife Upstairs reimagines a classic tale of forbidden romance and dangerous attraction. In this vivid retelling of one of literature’s most twisted love triangles, which Mrs. Rochester will get her happy ending?
