“A tale of mystery and intrigue that had me gripped from page one.” —Caroline Mitchell, USA Today and international bestselling author“An exotic setting, characters chock-full of questionable motives, and slow-burning intrigue blend together in this utterly unique domestic thriller (or psychological suspense). As swept up as I was in the glittering, privileged world of British expats in Singapore and the secrets they hide in their glamorous air-conditioned glass penthouses, I was equally gobsmacked by the final reveal.” —Emily Carpenter, author of Every Single Secret, The Weight of Lies, and Burying the Honeysuckle Girls “With an elegant hand and a clinical gaze, Furniss draws readers into the ex-pat society of Singapore, a world of careless wealth and casual cruelty. The Trailing Spouse is a quiet, haunting force of a novel, woven with stunning turns of phrase, haunting characters, and terrifying plot twists. Fans of Megan Abbott, Emily Carpenter, and Mary Kubica should add Jo Furniss to their list of must-reads. I was sad to finish it and I cannot wait for Jo Furniss’s next work.” —Amber Cowie, author of Rapid Falls“Wildly exotic and compulsively readable, The Trailing Spouse is a thrilling story of trust and betrayal. When Amanda Bonham’s luxurious life begins to unravel in a storm of deceit and growing mistrust, she discovers that her seemingly perfect marriage may indeed be nothing more than a gilded cage. Tension builds as Amanda races the clock to uncover the secrets her husband is hiding, and the explosive conclusion will leave readers breathless.” —Nicole Baart, bestselling author of Little Broken Things and You Were Always Mine“From the very first sexy, sinister, and all-out thrilling chapter, The Trailing Spouse grabs you by the collar and never lets go. Against the glittering backdrop of contemporary Singapore, Furniss’s expat characters navigate their adopted home—and, at times, their adopted identities—searching for answers amid the darkness that lines even the shiniest of places. This is a mesmerizing domestic thriller that both terrifies and enchants.” —Kirstin Chen, author of Soy Sauce for Beginners and Bury What We Cannot Take“A beautifully written, evocative psychological thriller rife with secrets, misdirection, and intrigue.
