I couldn't decide what thriller to read, so I had my friend’s mom choose for us: she decided The Wife. Then I read Jennifer M’s excellent review and agreed to lock it down!!!

Alafair Burke didn't waste any time with getting me hooked. She jumps right in. It is high paced and with the perfect amount of suspense. My mind was in puzzle pieces. I was looking at this from every angle.
I appreciated the mix of first and third person POV. Burke knew what she was doing: she made us build these emotional connections and then...POW!!!

Now the ending? I was at a lost for words: WHAT? SHIT! SHIT! WTF??? Those were the only words that managed to escape my mouth.

Ohhh! I especially appreciate the awareness she brings by addressing various social issues that continue to plague us. Thank you, Alafair Burke!

Now y'all need to read this book!
