He married me despite my darkest secret. But am I safe, now that I know his?

From the outside, my marriage to Zach was perfect: dream home, a perfect baby girl, and passionate, all-consuming love. When we met, I confessed my darkest secret to him, and he never judged me for it. Instead, he vowed to always protect me - whatever the cost.

But as I cradle my gorgeous baby, I have to accept that the husband who used to be my everything has changed. At first, it was little things: expecting me to keep to a strict schedule, picking out my clothes for me. Now, he controls every aspect of my life: from how much money I have, to when I leave the house and whom I can see.

One fateful night, a young woman is found murdered, and Zach is a potential suspect. Turning toward me, a look of warmth returning to his eyes, he swears he’s innocent - and I realize there is only one solution. If I agree to be his alibi, he will keep my secret, and our daughter can grow up in a loving home. In that moment, I do what any faithful wife would do: I stand by him.

But I know deep down, only one of us will make it out of this marriage alive.

A twist-filled psychological thriller from USA Today best-selling author Carey Baldwin. Fans of The Wife Between Us, The Marriage, and Gone Girl will be totally addicted to The Marriage Secret.

Is turnabout fair play?

Carey Baldwin has given us a quite believable but terrifying story of what can happen in a marriage. A young woman in the final daYds of her pregnancy is our initial introduction to this marriage which she proclaims is perfect; however, the very next event demonstrate this is not the case. Because the very pregnant wife left her shoes in the kitchen, he refuses to help her into the car or the hospital. In severe pain, she helps herself. Because he is a doctor he insists on being left alone with her in her labor where he refuses her the epidural prepared for her and cancels fact alarm to signify trouble with the baby or his wife. Only when the wife screams in her pain does help come. This is our first hint into the disposition of the husband and his treatment of his wife. As the plot continues, I was struck with the wife's tolerance and consideration for her cruel husband. Despite the breathe of his best friend and two of his medical students she was ready to give him the benefit of the doubt until . . . Well, you will have to read the book to see what happens. I promise, you will be shocked!

Fun little ride

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 20, 2022

This was a fun little adventure to tackle over Christmas break. It was a quick read that was easy for me to solve pretty early on, but that didn’t take away from the overall story. I always have a fun time seeing how close my mind relates to the authors intended storyline, and I was spot on with this one which made me giddy! Even sleep deprived I’ve still got it!

The story is a roundabout tale of betrayal, deception, murder and strategically keeping your enemies close.

A quick easy read where you get to discover what really happened, who’s half sane, and what happens when you are an accomplice to a crime that tethers you together, for better or for worse- until death do they part.

Not for Me

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

I don’t typically psychological thrillers and I couldn’t get through it. After the birth scene, when no one acted on what was clearly a breach of medical ethics, I began to lose interest. I read through chapter 5 and saw Holly as weak, allowing herself to be gaslighted. I read the last five chapters and found a satisfactory resolution. So four stars for those of you who liked this genre.

Loose end...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2022

I'd give this story 4-1/2 stars, and 5 for the flawless—far as I could tell—grammar throughout. (Amazing to me that so many authors don't grok appropriate use of "I" versus "ME." It really isn't that hard to choose the right one! Baldwin knows.)
But here's the loose end: Is anybody else wondering about RUSSELL, the mostly-absent father of the husband, who demanded access to his baby granddaughter? Maybe Baldwin has a sequel in the works to address this issue?

Great drama story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 23, 2022

This was easy mystery but the ending was a shocker. The determination and desperate need to save her child had this mother go to great lengths to do what she thought was in their best interest. Read this book, the end is surprising.

A Slick and Crafty Read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

I became an instant fan of Carey Baldwin when I read Her First Mistake. With The Marriage Secret, Baldwin has scored again with the twisty story of a woman trapped in a wretched marriage. Holly thought she had it all when she married Zach, a respected doctor. For a time, her life was perfect—even after Holly shared a horrid secret from her past on their marriage day. Still, Zach lavished her with attention and gifts, promising to love her forever. But on the day their baby, Jolene, is born, Zach reveals a side of himself that is only the beginning of a dark and downward spiral for Holly. Her once perfect husband becomes manipulative and controlling, orchestrating events to make her question her sanity.

Zach is a character who made my skin crawl from the moment he showed his true colors in chapter one.
The book starts with a hook and keeps the tension building as Holly struggles to extradite herself from her wreck of a marriage and possessive husband. Because the book is told in first person POV, it’s easy to connect with Holly. Uncertain of her footing at first, she gains strength as the story progresses, willing to do what is necessary to protect Jolene.

This is a book of mind games, not physical abuse. Zach and Holly dance around each other in a clever game of cat and mouse. Especially when Holly gets wind of a secret from Zach’s past and gains leverage to use against him. Then two of the med students he mentored are found dead and matters go from simmer to boil. When the end comes, it corkscrews in a series of impossible twists. I was thrilled to have a “lightbulb moment” before the author delivered the final reveal, but even so—wow!

This is a fantastic domestic thriller and one I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a slick and crafty read.

This was a great quick read and kept me interested. I like a fast paced book that keeps me wondering what is really going on and this book did not fail. As other have a said a fun twist at the end.

Exciting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

An interesting book with good storyline. I enjoyed it a lot and found it engaging. However, after the fatal events it is unlikely that a forensic search would not have discovered the hidden pages. It was also odd to have Zach take an emetic. This would be far too risky to do in real life. A good story with believable characters. Ellen Wise.

No no no

What a drab story and can't believe I wasted my time. At first I thought it was going to be good. It was just empty but I kept reading waiting for more substance. Alas it did not happen, the repetative scenario became a total bore and I skipped through the long winded ending.
