The Wives by Tarryn Fisher
3.0
I think if I could do half stars, I think I’d rate it 2.5 stars. I’m rounding it up to three because I really liked the first half of the book. I was really intrigued, and things seemed interesting. The writing was good, and pacing was perfect.
But once I reached around the halfway point, things started to feel like a bit of a slog. I was a bit confused and a little bored at times, which isn’t what I’m looking for in a thriller. The last half, especially the ending, just felt lackluster compared to how promising it seemed at the beginning, and it felt like plot holes were left open.
If you’re really into books with unreliable narrators and willing to suspend some disbelief because the writing is good and the first half is very good, and are very into slow burn mysteries, this’ll likely be up your alley.
