3.58 AVERAGE


The Plot twist at the end makes the whole book.

The Wife Stalker is told in two voices. A woman who had her life made up for her before she had a chance to live it and a woman who seems to have bad luck when it comes to love and marriages. As the two women begin to cross paths, the reader begins to struggle with who is the crazy one?

The first part of the book is a little slow and repetitive but once you get to the half way mark, the action picks up and the reader is thrown for a loop most won't see coming.

I did not see what happened, happening! Good book!!!

I really enjoyed this one—had to go back and start over after finishing! Very entertaining!

This book was tricky! I was looking for the thing to explain what was happening, and as a result I was suspicious of the wrong person. Leo Drakos remarries a woman with a murky past. It's unclear what happened to the mother of his children, but what you think isn't what is.... a fast read. Enjoyed it, although because I felt tricked maybe it isn't a 5 star read for me.

Wow what a twist!

Now I want to reread it!

Fast read! Simple read that kept you wanting to not put the book down! Got to the end, and wanted to start it again!

Piper has opened up a rehab and wellness business in coastal Westport, Connecticut when she meets Leo Drakos, a lawyer. She notices the ring on his finger, but for Piper, marriages aren’t forever.

Joanna, Leo’s wife, is wishing he would be happier, more like his old self. In fact, she thinks he’s clinically depressed. Suddenly she notices Leo is more engaging and upbeat, including with their daughters. Joanna’s heart falls when she finds out why.

Leo wants to move on with Piper, and he’s pretty flashy about it in front of Joanna, leaving her heart broken.

And then Joanna decides to stand up for herself, taking a look into Piper’s past. What she finds makes her think her husband and children might be in danger, but no one will believe her; they think she is just the jealous ex.

The Wife Stalker is exactly the kind of thriller I want to read in the summer. It’s exciting with a beachy location, plenty of push and pull, and it’s hot. There was a twist I never saw coming, and oh my, did some of these characters get under my skin.

Overall, I think all thriller fans should have The Wife Stalker in their beach bags this summer!

I received a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Conflicted...

Started out on audio, and went to ebook
Just felt things were moving too slow and the mundane was getting to me
unreliable narrator(s)?

spoilers:
Leo wears a wedding ring in tribute to his dead wife?
Leo sending Joanna "divorce papers" and bank in his name only...well yeah. Is she gaslighting her therapist?

I know the point is create a great twist, but in the end, I felt manipulated.
