The Penmaker’s Wife and The Secret Wife both focus on marriages that conceal dangerous histories, fitting Robinson’s broader interest in secrets passed down through families. Neither book features Jefferson Tayte, making them accessible entry points for readers who prefer a standalone rather than a series commitment.
Published in consecutive years (2019 and 2020), the two books show Robinson working outside his established series while staying close to the historical mystery territory he knows best.
