Dead to Her by Sarah Pinborough
3.0
Dead to Her is a thriller set in Savannah, Georgia, and follows the wives of two powerful men. Marcie Maddox has been the youngest of all the wives in her elite circle for years, but when her husband’s boss returns from a trip overseas with the twenty-something Keisha on his arm, she feels threatened. Keisha is British, gorgeous, and also seemingly attracted to Marcie’s husband Jason, and Marcie simply wont stand for it. As Marcie prepares to fight for her husband, she finds not all is as it seemed in this dark, twisty, southern story.

A few months ago, I was sucked in by the author’s previous novel, Behind Her Eyes. Although the ending to that one didn’t work for me, she constructed a story so compelling that I couldn’t stop reading, and I was hoping for more of that with this latest work. Although it wasn’t as unputdownable as the previous book, this story was still compelling largely due to its setting of Savannah. The way it is described and factored into the narrative including its history, culture, wealth, climate, and geography was really well done. It gave off gothic, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil vibes to me which I loved. I was so-so on the ending of this one, but did enjoy the ride getting there.
