The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins

1.0

This should have been fun, but it just wasn't. I liked that Jane was a terrible person because it made sense for her to act the way she did, and I liked that Eddie also seemed terrible, because it made sense that Jane believed he killed his wife even as the reader knows she's locked up.

But then to find out that he didn't kill Blanche and it was actually B who did it fucks it all up. That should have been a great twist, but now I'm just sitting here wondering what kind of person could go from loving his wife, to locking her up because she's a murderer, then, instead of doing something normal like calling the cops, he starts fucking his dogwalker and then puts her in his will? While still fucking his actual wife even though he knows she's a murderer two times over? None of it worked for me.
