I had this book for weeks before I started reading it.
Only because I love Alafair Burke's books so much that I wanted to save it.
But when all the reviews for "The Wife" got me so hyped, I couldn't wait any longer.
I'm a huge fan of the Ellie Hatch series, but this one really had me on the edge of my chair. I raced through it because the suspense was killing me (pun intended).
If you're a mystery lover like me, you'll want to add this one to your reading list.
From the back cover:
When Angela met Jason Powell while catering a dinner party in East Hampton, she assumed their romance would be a short-lived fling, like so many relationships between locals and summer visitors. To her surprise, Jason, a brilliant economics professor at NYU, had other plans, and they married the following summer. For Angela, the marriage turned out to be a chance to reboot her life. She and her son were finally able to move out of her mother’s home to Manhattan, where no one knew about her tragic past.
Six years later, thanks to a bestselling book and a growing media career, Jason has become a cultural lightning rod, placing Angela near the spotlight she worked so carefully to avoid. When a college intern makes an accusation against Jason, and another woman, Kerry Lynch, comes forward with an even more troubling allegation, their perfect life begins to unravel. Jason insists he is innocent, and Angela believes him. But when Kerry disappears, Angela is forced to take a closer look—at both the man she married and the women she chose not to believe.
