I did not see this coming! Not in the slightest…
I'll have to say that this is my very first read by Rachel Hawkins and I was not disappointed! I had a little snafu where I think my audiobook was skipping around, so I re-started it and started enjoying it that much more the second time around!
There were some very interesting characters, and a very diverse set of characters which made me want to follow their stories. I feel like I was rooting on the people that I shouldn't have been, and disliked the people that I should have, but I think that's what made the story great!
The actual story was killer...all puns intended! HAHA! But seriously, it's not your every day cookie cutter mystery or domestic thriller. It took you in a couple of different directions throughout, with the ending totally out in left field, wondering how in the world you go there! I LOVED IT!!!!
The Wife Upstairs was narrated by a trio of excellent narrators: Emily Shaffer, Kirby Heyborne, and Lauren Fortang. I have loved listening to Kirby Heyborne, but I must admit, most of the books I've listened him in before were either soft romance, or even maybe like a Christian genre, so to listen to him in this book took him to a new level to me that honestly I wondered if he was capable of...HE IS! I always LOVE when books have multiple narrators because it helps you identify characters and stick with their story easier and this book was no exception! Sometimes I will listen to a book solely on the who the narrator is because I truly believe that a narrator(s) can make or break a book! These guys definitely helps make this book!
Overall, the story was thrilling and entertaining, and took me to places I never thought it would, and never saw coming! It had a great element of surprise, with a great stack of characters and narrators, that just totally make The Wife Upstairs an absolute 5-star read for me, for sure!
I would like to take a moment to thank the author, Rachel Hawkins, the publisher, Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in return for an honest and unbiased review!

Part Jane eyre with Rebecca vibes. Lost its steam and thriller aspect in the last third.
My Most Anticipated Book Of 2021 Was A Flop And Here's Why
When I Read The Sypnosis Of This Book I Was Intrigued By The Fact That This Was A Jane Eyre Retelling And I Pre-Ordered It But It Never Came But Anyway I Finally Read And I Was Disappointed
I Didn't Hate This Book I Was Just Disappointed Because I Thought Jane Was A Boring Character Because There Were No Redeeming Qualities To Her Character She Kinda Bored Me As I Kept Reading On And On I Didn't Like The Man At All And This Is Just A Boring Novel That Really Did Not Meet Up To My Expectations I Love The Cover Of This Book Though It's Very Beautiful
This Was Not My Favorite Book At All But I Will Buy A Physical Copy Of This Book To Have On My Shelf
I Liked The Writing In This Book But It Doesn't Save The Fact I Really Was Disappointed With This Book
