0:00.0	If you're looking for a new domestic thriller to binge,
0:03.7	My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney is the perfect book for you.
0:07.7	This thriller from the author of his and hers, adapted for the hit show currently streaming on Netflix,
0:12.6	will leave you questioning everything you know about love, identity, and revenge.
0:17.2	My husband's wife is a tangled web of deception, obsession, and mystery that will keep you
