10.25.2019 - The Other Wife

The Other Wife

Many thanks to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer, and Claire McGowan for the opportunity to read and review her latest thriller - it will definitely keep you guessing.

Suzi and her husband, Nick, leave London after Suzi makes a lot of questionable decisions and her husband wants a new start.  However, the cottage they move to is very remote and Nick is very controlling, leaving Suzi desperate for company.  When a new neighbor, Nora, moves in, Suzi is excited to have a friend.  We also meet Elle, a woman trying to be the perfect wife, obsessed and fearful than her husband is seeing someone else.
Told in chapters featuring each of these women's points of view, we find out how alike they are - plus, the book opens with a dead body.

None of these characters are likable, and for some reason I had trouble keeping track of who was who.  But it was a fast-paced suspense read.
