toriss 's review for:
The Wife Upstairs
by Rachel Hawkins
*Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.* What a deliciously creepy read this was. Imagine if Jane Eyre was set in the 21st century, in an upper middle class suburb of Alabama. And that's what you have in Hawkins' suspenseful book, 'The Wife Upstairs'. The book focusses on young Jane who is a down and not quite out dog walker in the exclusive community of Thornfield Estates. Her luck changes when she meets none other than Mr Rochester, or as he is known in contemporary times, Eddie. They quickly fall in love and Jane is suddenly living a rags to riches story as she moves into his gorgeous house. However, not all is as it seems... A delightful take on the old classic that had me tearing through the book to find out what would happen next. There are lots of twists and turns in the story and I am hesitant to tell any more of the plot, for feel of spoiling the surprise.
