The Silent Wife by A.S.A. Harrison

3.0

---

I just put The Silent Wife down a few minutes ago and I'm still reeling from what I just read. The novel tells the story of Jodi and Todd, whose marriage is crumbling due to Todd's inability to stay committed to his wife. The story is interesting enough, but one of the major problems is that the synopsis lets the reader know right away what is going to happen, and the rest of the book is the revelation of how these two got to this point. I truly think it could have been more exciting if you didn't know right away where the story was going, and the context that is given leading up to the big event isn't exciting enough to really push the novel to a strong finish in the end. With all of that being said, I was interested in the characters and their story--I just feel that there could have been a little more.
