Working at a literary agency while writing her own novel, Savannah meets megastar author Bennett and is smitten. She\u2019s shocked when he seems to feel the same, and soon they\u2019re in a whirlwind romance that rapidly gets serious. Savannah can\u2019t help feeling it\u2019s a little too quick, but tries to put doubts out of her mind. And if Bennett is a little too persistent in his wish for her to move out of New York City to relatively sleepy Bedford and get married, well, she shakes that off too. Who wouldn\u2019t want to quit work and spend her days writing in a mansion? But soon her doubts are back when she hears local gossip that Bennett\u2019s last wife\u2019s drowning death may not have been an accident. And the more she lives with this controlling man, the more she\u2019s convinced that the rumors about that death and other suspicious happenings in Bennett\u2019s past are all too true. Constantine (a pen name for the duo of sisters behind The Next Mrs. Parrish<\/em>) alternates chapters that impart Savannah’s and Poppy\u2019s points of view, showing each woman\u2019s fall to despair, with the characters\u2019 voices ramping up the tension as the fast-moving thriller unfolds. These authors are already best sellers; this next book will satisfy their fans and bring in more readers who enjoy domestic turmoil and twists.<\/strong>\u2014Henrietta Thornton<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
