Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

“Happy Wife” is a thriller following Will & Nora Somerset & their whirlwind romance. One day Will goes missing & eventually turns up dead & Nora is, of course, the prime suspect. Nora must work to figure out who killed her husband & clear her name once & for all. 

I really enjoyed this one! It has short chapters & dual timelines, telling the story of how Will & Nora met & fell in love while simultaneously telling the story of what’s happening after his disappearance. It was an enjoyable read, although somewhat predictable. The twist wasn’t really shocking & I had it somewhat figured out but I would still recommend this book to any thriller fan. 

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for this ARC.
