Tell Me the Truth by Kiersten Modglin
3.0
Edith is Joe’s second wife. Their marriage isn’t perfect and he’s shown his true colors by having an affair before, but she stayed - out of loyalty? out of hope he could change? out of fear? So when Edith begins to find hints his behavior is repeating itself, or never stopped at all, Edith becomes obsessed with finding out the truth at all costs. Once a cheater always a cheater, right?
I flew through this one in a few days. It was easy to follow from one POV with minimal characters and scenes and a short, linear timeline. I enjoyed the narrator’s accent. However, it was unrealistic and nothing special.. just a short story about a poor mentally damaged wife that decides to stay on the sinking ship of an abusive marriage to a cheating dirtbag. I think I am beginning to realize domestic suspense is not really my thing. This is my first Kiersten Modglin and I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about her novels so I’ll still give some of her other works a shot but this one just missed the mark for me.
