Goodreads Synopsis: Has a group of men conspired to murder each other's wives - figuring their perfect alibis will save them? That is what Beth Kemp starts to suspect, but is she losing her mind? Her husband says he fears so... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I'll give this marriage one more try, Beth Kemp thinks. She is a successful crime writer in New York City, who regrets that tension has crept into her relationship with her husband, Brad. He too is a writer who, after early success, finds his career fading. Brad urges that a move to the country would make them happy again - and safe, especially Beth, to avoid the city's stress that triggers her severe asthma attacks. Beth wavers, until her close friend is murdered and the friend's husband has a perfect alibi. She finally accepts that the city with its surging crime has become too hard for her. The Kemps move to beautiful Sheffield, Connecticut, so perfect it seems too good to be true. It is. When one new friend cries in fear about her husband, and another has a bruise under her eye, Brad tells Beth that she's overimagining. But when she hears of another wife's unsolved murder and yet another friend dies mysteriously, Beth suspects the husbands of covering for each other. Brad tells her she's getting crazy, paranoid. Then Beth stumbles onto the most devastating shock of all, one she never imagined... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75636389-the-wife-list Thank you to J.A. Schneider and Book Sirens for providing me with an ebook advanced copy of The Wife List for me to read and review! What an intriguing, addictive story! There were a few events early on in the story that were reminiscent of Verity by Colleen Hoover which I loved, so I was immediately drawn into the story and invested in the characters. The whole way through the plot had me on the edge of my seat wondering and worrying and tense waiting for the next traumatic turn of events. The further I read the more the story gave off similar vibes to B.A. Paris' The Breakdown. The very end of the story threw me for a bit of a loop with how certain things shifted gears so quickly and it felt a bit unrealistic. Overall a great read and one that I will be recommending! 4 Stars!
