Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane

 The pretty little wife in the book by that name by Darby Kane is Lila Ridgefield, who has just found some sex videos of her husband with some of his students as this debut novel begins. Meanwhile, three young women have disappeared without a trace in Lila’s college town in New York.



Lila and her husband Aaron Payne are on the outs over the videos, and soon Aaron disappears, or so Lila leads investigators to believe. However, Lila is confused because the last time she saw her missing husband, he was dead in his car parked on the schools’ grounds.

Ginny Davis, the senior detective on the case, suspects that Lila knows more than she’s telling, and as the wife, she becomes the number one suspect among two others: Aaron’s brother Jared and his principal Brent. The story takes many twists and turns as it is brought to a horrific climax with the Pretty Little Wife being in jeopardy.

Darby Kane is the pseudonym for HelenKay Dimon, a former divorce lawyer turned bestselling author of more than 40 romantic suspense, contemporary, and erotic romance books and novellas. She lives in San Diego.
