Yes! This is exactly what I love in a thriller...a twisty, dazzling, misleading ride trying to figure out what the heck is going on!!

The story flips between the view points of Joanne and Piper, which I liked. There were a few parts where I didn’t think the storyline was realistic, but the end pulled it together nicely.

This is a must read for thrill-seeking book lovers.

I was intrigued by the premise of The Wife Stalker, and was hooked very quickly after starting the book. The story alternated POVs between Joanna and Piper, so we saw the plot play out from both perspectives.

I'm going to keep this review short and sweet, because there isn't a ton I can say without giving things away. What I will say is that I enjoyed the beginning and end of the book, but I found the middle to be repetitive and at points I felt like it was dragging, because it felt like I was reading the same thing over and over. That said, I'm not always a fan of domestic suspense, and tend to prefer traditional thrillers with twistier, darker plots, so this slower pace may work well for readers who like a good domestic mystery. There were points where the timeline jumped ahead a few weeks between chapters too, but wasn't made super clear through the storytelling, which made the progression of the relationship between Piper and Leo feel very quick and unnatural.

What I did like was that the chapters were short and snappy, so they held my attention and kept me wanting to read more. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, I really enjoyed the beginning and end of the book, and was pleased with how things ended.

All in all, I'm rating this one 3.5 stars. This was the first book I've read by Liv Constantine, and I'm sure it wont be my last. I'd like to thank Harper Collins for my gifted copy of the book. It was my pleasure to provide an honest review. You can pick up your copy of The Wife Stalker on May 19, 2020.

I could not put this book down. I absolutely love this author and I’m so happy I discovered her through the Reese Witherspoon book club. Since then I’ve read all of her books!
