Synopsis
Her husband disappeared on their wedding day . . .
Carrie and Johan are a young couple, dancing together on a beach in Thailand hours after their wedding ceremony. They are deeply in love and luminously happy . . . until, without warning, Johan is taken from the beach by armed men, never to be seen again.
Twelve years later, Carrie – now happily married to another man and mother to two young children – stumbles across Johan by accident online. She learns that he escaped Thailand seven years ago and has been living in Stockholm ever since.
As the memories of their passionate relationship return to her, Carrie is compelled to find out what happened on that beach all those years ago and why Johan never got in contact.
The man who promised her a lifetime of love is now a mystery she must solve – but are the answers
worth risking her marriage, her family and everything she fought so hard to rebuild?
The truth, it turns out, is more shocking than any lie . . .

I fell utterly in love with this book. It combines a brilliantly original hook with an emotionally insightful love story - all while rocketing along at the pace of a thriller. Rosie Walsh is an extraordinary storyteller and this is her best novel yet
Heart-stopping . . . as unputdownable as it is brilliantly told. Rosie Walsh is one of those rare authors who delivers twisting plots along with gorgeous prose, all-too-real characters, and emotional depth. I couldn’t sleep until I finished this book!
I'm still trying to catch my breath after finishing this stunning book. I'm wandering around in a daze, my thoughts still full of these characters and settings, drawn so beautifully and with such depth . . . Compelling, twisty [and] keeping me guessing with every gasp-y page. I can't recommend The One Day You Were My Husband enough
Rosie Walsh is an auto-buy for me. I love her character driven, suspenseful thrillers
