When I read a Mary Kubica thriller, I must have the
whole day ahead to read because I will not stop until I finish. Once again in
her latest, The Other Mrs, Kubica has produced a real page turner of suspense.
Just when I thought I had figured it out, I was SO WRONG! Never saw the twist
coming. No wonder I couldn’t figure it out!
Sadie has been through the wringer with a troubled
son, a cheating husband, and a nervous breakdown on her high stress emergency
room doc job in Chicago. When her husband Will inherits a home in Maine along
with guardianship of an underage niece, he thinks it could be their “fresh
start.” Sadie does not feel as enthused, and the niece Imogen is just another
burden added to Sadie’s growing list.
When a murder occurs in their new neighborhood, Sadie
is ready to leave, especially after being accused by the neighbors of having
had an altercation with the dead neighbor…who Sadie has never even met having
plunged back to work in an overly busy doctor’s office while womanizer Will is
working part-time while also being a house-husband. It seems all the problems
from Chicago have followed the family – including Will’s mistress Camille -- and
are now multiplying.
Mary Kubica is a talented storyteller. A one-time high
school history teacher, she lives outside of Chicago with her family. This is
her fifth psychological thriller, and I have enjoyed them all.
