Sure, I'll let you know what I think of The Wife Between Us.
I remember watching The Thorn Birds on TV when I was a kid. Can't remember much about it though. Not my usual type of book, but we'll see how it goes!

I thought The Wife Between Us was ok. Gave it 3 stars. Some of the twists I guessed. I didn't see the ending coming at all! Pretty decent read overall.
And The Thorn Birds, I loved it! Big fat 5 stars from me!
Mod
I liked The Wife Between Us. I liked how it was different. My mom had read The Thorn Birds and then when it was made into a TV series in the 70s(?) she was so happy. I read it and others books by McCullough much later.
