dorigray 's review for:

Happy Wife: A Novel by Meredith Lavender, Kendall Shores
3.5
fast-paced

A fun, quick, easy book that showcases the extremely wealthy people in Winter Park, Florida. I am always drawn to juicy stories about the obnoxiously rich. 

Nora is living paycheck to paycheck when she meets Will, a divorced and very rich attorney. As he brings her into his world she realizes she will never be welcome there. And then he dies and she’s the main suspect. 

I didn’t predict the ending and the authors did a nice job casting suspicion onto everyone, including Nora’s only friends there. I didn’t love the plot line with the chef, it felt too contrived.  

Thank you Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
