The Wife List by J.A. Schneider, J.A. Schneider
4.0
Beth and Brad Kemp are both fed up with each other. Each struggling with their own writing careers, living and working in the same house has proven to be too much. Beth is at her breaking point when she decides to give her husband Brad one more chance in this marriage. She may want to divorce Brad, but Brad might just want to have her killed.
Then Beth’s friend ends up being murdered forcing her to view the people around her in a new light. Are the husbands killing off their wives and covering for each other?
As the story progresses we plunge deeper into Beth’s hysteria, madness. The typical “you’re crazy” gas lighting from her husband Brad. It’s hard not to roll your eyes as it seems we’ve seen this theme played out over and over again, in books and in movies, yet it’s something so real I think it’d be weird if it wasn’t part of the storyline. Schneider’s true talent in writing brings these themes to life.
Four stars for an all-round good read. The action kicks off in chapter one and by chapter two you’re hooked. A true psychological thriller that will have you turning the pages anticipating what’s to come next. A gripping read that’ll get your heartbeat going.
I received an ARC of this book and leave this review of my own accord.
