When Finn Hensen and his sister, Jess, inherit a dilapidated farmhouse in Mallorca, there’s just one problem. Their late father, Jimmy, a notorious bohemian, recently remarried, and his new wife is still living there.

The siblings decide that Finn should go to Mallorca to take possession of their inheritance. When he arrives, however, he’s surprised to find the house completely transformed by Ruensa and her daughter,
Roze. The Spanish police, meanwhile, are asking awkward questions about Jimmy’s death . . .

Are Ruensa and Roze the helpless victims of circumstance? Or will they stop at nothing to get Finca Siquia for themselves?

Description

I loved it. JP Delaney has a gift for the unputdownable story … One twist in particular left me open-mouthed. Brilliant stuff. This'll be in a lot of holiday luggage come the summer
Mick Herron

A characteristically unsettling thriller with an unreliable narrator who reels you in and a twist that made me pivot. With its sultry Mallorcan setting and du Maurier allusions, this is a summer read which exudes menace and is crying out for a TV adaptation
Sarah Vaughan

Mysterious, suspenseful, and suffused with paranoia; I read The New Wife in one sitting, and I couldn't put this sinister book down
Alex Michaelides

Charming and engrossing from the outset, but with a creeping and deeply unsettling sense of menace. I loved the Du Maurier vibes
Sharon Bolton

The tension ratchets up to boiling point in this sun-soaked sizzler about a man struggling to do what's right when everything around him is very wrong
Victoria Selman

Like Daphne du Maurier he sustains the ambiguity deftly and deliciously – whenever a resolution looks imminent, a new development preserves the enigma
Sunday Times

Such a phenomenal summer holiday read. Think The White Lotus meets The Housewives of Beverly Hills . . . this is a gripping and sophisticated thriller that will have you racing through the pages
Glamour

A sun-soaked, pacy beach read

Finn must decide whether the duo are victims of circumstance or utterly ruthless in this tense, twisty thriller

As accomplished as du Maurier and just as unsettling
Cara Hunter

Captivating, disturbing, and shocking . . . I enjoyed every minute of it
Samantha Downing

The king of psychological thrillers . . . Delaney's labyrinthine plotting again keeps the reader guessing, with twists and turns in plentiful supply. Gripping to the very end, The New Wife is a compelling and brilliant read
