Such a Good Wife

Written by Seraphina Nova Glass

Narrated by Xe Sands

Betrayal was just the beginning…

Melanie Hale is a devoted mother to her two children, a diligent caregiver to her ailing mother-in-law and a trusted neighbor in their wealthy Louisiana community. Above all, she’s a loving partner to her wonderful husband, Collin.

Then there are the parts of herself that Mel keeps hidden. She’s exhausted, worried and unfulfilled. So much so that one night, after a writers’ group meeting, Mel begins an affair with a successful local author named Luke. Suddenly she’s transformed into a role she doesn’t recognise — a woman who deceives with unseemly ease. A woman who might be capable of just about anything.

When Mel finds Luke’s dead body in his lavish rented house, she realises just how high the stakes have become. Not only does she have to keep her affair a secret in order to preserve her marriage, but she desperately needs to avoid being implicated in Luke’s death. But who would want to kill him? Who else in her life is keeping secrets? And most terrifying of all, how far will they — and she — go to keep those secrets hidden?

Talk about twists and turns....no, I didn't guess what was coming but....I do wonder what is sort of left hanging (tiny possible spoiler) as far as a "future location" for the family. Definitely a story that builds in suspense!

This was an interesting psychological thriller. I was surprised at the ending of the book. I did not really care for the main character as much as I would have liked. I liked her husband and the kids and I did like trying to figure out who committed the murder. This is a pretty good story. I received a copy of this book from Harlequin for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

Then Melanie finds his dead body…she can’t tell anyone. It will blow up her perfect life…or will it?!?!I enjoyed the intricacies to this novel. It does keep you guessing. The story did slow down a bit in the middle. But that is just a minor situation. Because, believe me…you want to know who did what to whom!Need a good cover-up thriller…this is it!
