My wife and I have a happy marriage.She’s a good mother.She would never abandon our family. I don’t know her at all. I work nights so it’s almost 3 a.m. when I get home. It’s day ten of the heatwave and even this late, the air is suffocating.Inside the house, the only sound is our five-month-old daughter, crying in her crib.I wait for Em’s footsteps on the landing. I listen out for her soothing voice.Any second now.There’s nothing. I check our bedroom. I wait for the mound of crumpled blankets to move. The bed is empty.It’s the middle of the night. My wife is gone and she left our baby here. All alone.And I have no idea why.A tense and gripping psychological thriller. The Husband was previously published in audio as The Rain by B.B. Thomas.
