This was entertaining, but also terribly frustrating with such a weak and idiotic main character who doesn't see all the red flags, then all of a sudden sees them out of nowhere, then ignores them again

This another solid thriller from Bonnie Kistler. I really enjoyed The Cage, also by this author.
In Shell Games, we follow the "Dynamic Duo" of Kate and her daughter Julie. Kate is a fabulously wealthy 70 year old real estate developer who has just found love again with her high school sweetheart. On her wedding night, unfortunately, her new husband confesses to being a serial killer.
This send Kate into a downward spiral; he denies that he has said any such thing, and Julie's orthopedist husband wants to have Kate evaluated for dementia. Julie sees her husband's actions as grab to take control of her mother's estate and wealth.
Kate is convinced she is being gaslit by her new husband, thinking that he is also after her wealth. She wants to divorce him, but realizes that trying to get a divorce within hours of the wedding will also make her look crazy.
Julie has concerns about everyone around her...does her mom have dementia? Is her new step-dad a murderer after her mom's money? And can she trust her husband who seems hell-bent on getting her mom out of the picture?
This is a fast moving thriller, with some twists you won't see coming...I promise!
I had some issues, but I don't want to write about them because it will spoil the story and I want you to read it!
