Every Last Secret by A.R. Torre
4.0
I'm biased. I love women phycological thrillers. However, I'm not a fan of douche bag husbands.
Maybe because part of me wanted to see if would get caught and what my sweet, perfect wife would do when she found out what I'd done.
This review contains spoilers.
We meet Neena Ryder, a college educated, married woman who moves next door to Cat Winthorpe, the wife of the husband everybody wants to shag. Neena works for him, OF COURSE. Where's the drama if they're just neighbors? Neena has come up with the perfect way to play the "game" as she calls it. Marry somebody richer who will provide her with a life of luxury, she says she deserves this because she grew up low class and has worked hard. Sorry to break it to Neena, but working hard as an assistant to shag the boss and getting promoted to a salary that's tripled, isn't what I would call working hard.
We see Neena go through the game with Cat to steal away her husband, who she hopes will fall in love and want to marry her. If not, plan b is to get a big paycheck. Unbeknownst to Neena, she's playing checkers and Cat is playing chess. Once the deed, the cheating is done. Cat begins her move. Endangering Neena's husband (Mark), poisoning Cat and Mark and hiring a man to shoot a blank in the mouth of Mark to unfold Neena's career, marriage and her affair.
Honestly, it was a quick read and I loved it. I only gave it four stars because I had guesses that Cat wouldn't roll over and let Neena walk all over her. After her poisoning, I was pretty aware of Cat's movements. Checkmate.
