Oh, these clever, clever sisters who use the pen name
of Liv Constantine in their latest psychological thriller The Wife Stalker! I
fell for it! They sucked me in. Now I have to go back and reread this entire
book to just see how they manipulated me. Like my reaction to Gone Girl (Gillian
Flynn), I never saw the twist coming. This one will get the full 5 stars from
me, which is not something I award often.
When lawyer Leo Drakos meets Piper Reynard, instant
chemistry occurs. But what about Joanna who has been by Leo’s side for years and
loves the children Evie and Stelli immensely? Not only does he cast Joanna
aside for the gorgeous younger woman he has FALLEN for in just a matter of
weeks, he eventually arranges things legally so Joanna can never see the
children again.
It turns out that Piper seems to be just the thing to
bring Leo out of a severe depression that has nearly DROWNED him. While Evie is
a sweet, accepting little girl who warms up to Piper, Stelli is fighting her
all the way, instead wanting his Mommy. Neither child wants their father to
remarry.
When Joanna learns that not only one of Piper’s previous
husbands died while married to her but her second husband and her stepdaughter died
on her watch as well, Joanna goes all out to expose Piper for the murderer
Joanna is convinced she is.
Plan to read this in one sitting as you will not be
able to put it down until you find out what happens to Leo, Evie, and Stelli.
Sisters and best-selling authors Lynne Constantine and
Valerie Constantine spend hours plotting their novels using Facebook and email as
they live three states apart. This is the second book I’ve enjoyed by them, and
I just put their 2019 title on hold at the library.
