The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine
3.0
The Wife Stalker sounded like a fun psychological mystery, and after The Last Mrs. Parrish, I had so much confidence in writing duo Liv Constantine's ability to execute it to perfection. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Where Mrs. Parrish was outlandish but almost believable in its characters' calculating personalities, The Wife Stalker was stretched so far from reality that I was waiting for it to turn into a fantasy novel.
For most of the book, my reaction was, "That would NEVER happen." I eventually had to suspend my judgments and trust that the big reveal in the end would explain the unbelievability away, which it did, but in a way that I felt was completely out of left field.
The writing was still good, and I thought the character development was pretty well done. This pair of authors certainly knows how to write conniving female characters. There were parts that I did enjoy in this book, but overall it missed the mark for me.
