A Most Anticipated Book of the Summer: People, Boston Globe, Forbes, Southern Living, BuzzFeed, Parade, Book Riot, CrimeReads, Deadly Pleasures, BookBub, Woman's World, NY Post, Jordy’s Book Club

“McCreight certainly knows her way around the rarefied world of Fifth Avenue. . . . But the wealth-porn aspects of the story are less interesting than the labyrinthine mystery, told from multiple points of view in multiple timelines. It’s far more complicated than it first appears, and it rewards patience.”
—Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review, “Three of Summer’s Best Thrillers”

“McCreight's delicious, character-driven thriller will have you guessing to the end.”
—People, "Must-Reads for Summer"

“Multiple sleights of hand propel this pleasurably head-spinning thriller. The time-and-place-shifting tale includes an expedition up Mount Kilimanjaro, a posse of wealthy friends whose relationships date back to college and childhood, and intimate glimpses into the oft-tangled territory of marriage.”
—Boston Globe

“Kimberly McCreight’s new stunner Someone Else’s Husband takes readers from the peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the streets of Soho and finally to the most mysterious place of all—the human heart. I was seduced by each character and knocked sideways by each betrayal. McCreight’s talent is boundless.”
—Amity Gaige, author of Heartwood

“This literary thriller has it all: richly drawn characters in escalating conflicts, wonderfully evocative atmosphere, razor-sharp observation and incisive wit, and one meticulously earned twist after another, with a knockout conclusion.”
—Chris Pavone, author of The Doorman

“With its blend of psychological tension and emotional depth, Someone Else’s Husband is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about thrillers of 2026.”
—Parade

“Kimberly McCreight has quickly become a favorite, with her twisty plots, wry sense of humor, and fully realized characterizations, and her new novel is simply a joy to read.”
—CrimeReads

“If you enjoy simmering suspense and character-driven plots, you’ll tear through this one.”
—Woman’s World

“Murder changes everything one woman knows about her marriage and her life in this taut, unpredictable thriller. . . . Shifting perspectives and adding new twists at a heady pace, Kimberly McCreight fashions a crime thriller that turns wealth, class, and sex into a deliciously volatile mix.”
—Apple Books Review

“Suspenseful. . . . I loved how this book kept me guessing right until the end, when all the clues fell perfectly in place together. . . . In my imagination, I cast Nicole Kidman as Gretchen, and this gave HBO miniseries vibes.”
—Buzzfeed

“Both a master class in slow-burn psychological suspense and an insightful examination of the complex bonds that can unite a couple as well as how quickly those same bonds can be broken. . . . Readers who appreciate the compelling characters and clever plot twists of The Silent Patient by Alex Michaeledes ... will be equally enthralled by this quietly stunning suspense novel.”
—Library Journal

“McCreight delivers. . . . Dynamic characters and expert pacing. . . . Entertaining.”
—Publishers Weekly

“McCreight fuels Someone Else's Husband with a fiery storyline that keeps readers guessing and surprises coming right up to the grand finale. Another great summer beach read has arrived!”
