Linden and Verity Lockwood appear to have the perfect life—a successful business together, a lovely home, and an active social life. Verity’s closest friend, her cousin Addison, works with her, and she has a small circle of women that she is close to. Though her mother is distant, she hopes to repair that soon. And Linden—well, sometimes he can seem obsessive about things, but that’s just his nature. Everything shifts when Verity is away at a yoga retreat to promote the Verity Rose brand and Linden is brutally murdered. Shattered, she returns to work, but moves out of Windermere, the home they shared, and starts to put her life back together, only to find out, a year after Linden’s death, that he had been having an affair. The police are lost as to a motive and suspects, but Verity wants justice so starts to put the pieces together herself. Then her friend Mimi disappears, stoking even more suspicion. Told in alternating chapters of The Wife and The Other Woman, this domestic thriller is packed with lots of juicy twists and turns, and SO MANY LIES! The slow unraveling of the mystery surrounding despicable Linden’s death will have readers suspecting virtually every one in Verity’s circle.—Dodie Ownes
