Many thanks to The Hive, Park Row, and NetGalley for the gifted copy of The Younger Woman by Cate Ray. I enjoyed this thriller. Anytime there's a domestic thriller with twisted spouses and unreliable characters you can count on me to read it.
Gabby - a woman who has woken up and realized after her children fly the nest that she really can't stand her husband. While out one night Gabby indulges a bit too much and ends up drunkingly telling a stranger at a bar that she would love for her husband to be dead. This stranger takes things into her own hands and odd things begin happening after Gabby's fated meeting with this stranger. Some things should never be spoken out loud because you just never know who you are really talking to.
This book was very twisty - cat and mouse games from beginning to end. I did figure out the major plot twist about 75% into the book. Even though I had guessed correctly I still enjoyed this fast paced domestic thriller.
