We have a new family member this week. And even though she won’t be reading for a while, I didn’t want to take any chances on not having enough book options. So here’s a stack of new books for the library. A couple are copies of books l reviewed - Playing Nice, The Kingdom, It’s a Wonderful Woof and Two Old Men and a Baby. BOTM books from May and June. The great used book find was an autographed hardcover of Come In and Cover Me by Gin Phillips Who are the newest readers in your family? #chetandbernie #jonesbo #katherinecenter #darbykane #louisepenny #ginphillips #novelsuspectsinsiders #bradsbookhaul #theisland #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #readersofig #bookreview #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs #nealstephenson #lessonsinchemistry https://www.instagram.com/p/CeqtTCPLZeB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Replacement Wife is the 2nd novel from Darby Kane. "Elisa Wright thinks her brother-in-law, Josh, is a killer. His first wife died from an "accident" and now his fiance, Abby, is missing. He's moved on too quickly in Elisa's mind and no one seems to care about her friend, Abby. Her concerns are ignored by her own husband. Elisa becomes friends with Josh's new girlfriend and starts to wonder if a horrible incident is pushing her over the edge. The race is on to discover the truth before any other women die." The tension starts early in this book and never lets up. Kane keeps revelaing things about Josh and makes you question Elisa'a sanity and paranoia. You will probably guess some part of what's going on but until the reveal you won't be sure. The dynamics between the brothers were interesting. Harris is a big enabler and Josh takes advantage. You will not like Josh at all - you will probably yell at him a lot. The ending was unexpected. I like when an author chooses not to tie everything up in a nice neat bow. Add this to your list of 2022 thrillers. If this is a January BOTM choice it’s a great thriller pick. #thereplacementwife #darbykane #netgalley #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #helenkaydimon #topreads2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CX_UkmILK0E/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane was a November 2020 pick from @bookofthemonth “Lila gets a call that her husband, Aaron, is missing. She thinks that’s odd, since she was the last one to see his body...” Lila finds out Aaron has been bad and decides to do something about it. But she doesn’t really know the extent of how bad he’s been. Or who he’s working with. Kane keeps the tension up and the reader guessing here. You can guess who took the body but it’s just a guess. The reveal is not a big surprise but more of a “Oh - that’s who it was 🤔” Kane makes you sympathize with a woman who killed her husband while she was having an affair. And Aaron is the despicable character everyone will hate. This book has the format of back and forth between the present and the back story. Kane does a nice job keeping the reader hooked. A couple of comments on the audiobook. I usually speed them up to 1.25. Not to rush through it but I can read faster than I can listen 🤷🏼‍♂️ But this is one where anything faster than normal speed was mush. Based on my hearing it’s probably me. 🦻🏻 Have you read this one or listened to the audiobook? #prettylittlewife #darbykane #bookofthemonth #audiobooks #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #novelsuspect #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller https://www.instagram.com/p/COku0KmrHUo/?igshid=1dwghnndkah2d

Review: Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane

Heather's thoughts on Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane #thriller #reviewing #mustread #debutauthor #pageturner #topreadof2021

Lila Ridgefield lives in an idyllic college town, but not everything is what it seems. Lila isn’t what she seems. A student vanished months ago. Now, Lila’s husband, Aaron, is also missing. At first these cases are treated as horrible coincidences until it’s discovered the student is really the third of three unexplained disappearances over the last few years. The police are desperate to find the…

I received an advanced reader copy of Pretty Little Wife from HarperCollins Publishers via NetGalley, in return for my honest opinion. Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane is a story about deceit and righting wrongs. Lila Ridgefield’s husband, Aaron, a beloved high school teacher is missing. Lila knows where she left the body, but it’s no longer there. As the police investigate, they’ll have a hard time finding people that don’t love Aaron and an even harder time finding people that like Lila. As the secrets in Lila’s marriage are exposed, she will have to stay one step ahead of the investigation until Aaron is found. This was an excellent cat and mouse story filled with intrigue and characters with their own agendas. Pretty Little Wife is available today, December 29, 2020.
