The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins
4.0

I wasn’t sure about this book as it’s a retelling of Jane Eyre, and I wasn’t really all that fond of that classic when I had to read it for an English class in college. All I remember is not being able to understand why red was such a strong symbol.

Now I’m wondering about the plot all over again because this book was fast-paced mystery that had me saying, “What?” Over and over again. Jane is the neighborhood dog-walker until Eddie asks her out. A whirlwind romance clouds her suspicions about his wife who disappeared about six months ago.

We hear from Bea too, and although I should have expected it, I didn’t. Bea is kind of a B.

It’s a mystery. There’s a murder. It’s super fast-paced. It was a delight, as much as a book that kind of creeps you out can be.
