Publisher Description
For fans of Liane Moriarty, Liv Constantine and Lisa Jewell, a twisty psychological thriller about a savvy second wife who will do almost anything to come out on top from the New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes.
Being the second wife can be murder . . .
""Once a cheat, always a cheat,"" they say. Marcie Maddox has worked hard to get where she is after the illicit affair that started her new life a few years ago. But her world of country clubs, yachts and sumptuous houses in Savannah, Georgia, isn’t easy to maintain, no matter how hard she tries. Nor is keeping her husband, Jason, truly interested.
So, when Jason’s boss brings home a hot new wife from his trip to London, the young Mrs William Radford IV isn’t quite the souvenir everyone expected. Sexy, drop-dead gorgeous and black—Keisha quickly usurps Marcie’s place as the beautiful second wife. But when Marcie sees the extra spark in the room when Keisha and Jason are together and their obvious, magnetic attraction, the gloves come off.
Revenge is best served cold, but in the steamy Savannah heat, blood runs so hot that this summer it might just boil over into murder.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A dark passion underlies the Southern-fried mystery of Sarah Pinborough’s thriller. Marcie and Jason’s lavish wedding was the talk of Savannah society, even though their relationship began as a steamy affair. But now Marcie’s paranoid that Jason will step out on her like he did with his first wife—especially when the drop-dead gorgeous Keisha enters their social circle and Jason’s attention begins to drift. Darting between the two women’s dueling perspectives, this sultry psychological thriller blends unexpected themes like voodoo practices and class struggles to take the story in shocking directions we never saw coming. Pinborough makes great use of the sweltering Georgia setting to create an intense sense of history and atmosphere, and Saskia Maarleveld’s narration brings out the distinct personalities of the story’s two at-odds protagonists as they race toward a stunning finale that’s on par with Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us. It’s that good.
Customer Reviews
Surprising Plot
It was a bit lengthy on getting to the gut of the story but once at the end it came together better than excepted. I generally liked this book.
Just No
Story was not good…
Below expectations
This is nothing like “Behind her eyes” so if you’re expecting something similar forget it. I was bored out of my mind. Lost money on this book.
