Suzanne Forster has asked her readers to take "a vow of silence" before they read Husband, Lover, Stranger; she doesn't want the surprise ending spoiled for anyone. Sophie Weston was innocent and inexperienced when she fell madly in love with the sexy and adventurous Jay Babcock. When Jay disappears in an avalanche and is presumed dead, Sophie spends the next five years of her life learning to live without him. When she is informed that Jay is alive and has been imprisoned she desperately wants to believe that it's true. But when she sees her husband for the first time, she has niggling doubts that the man her in-laws claim is Jay is really him. Despite DNA testing, fingerprinting, and blood tests that prove his identity, her female intuition rings an alarm. Jay isn't the same man, and Sophie doesn't know who to trust with her secret.
