My Review
The Second Wife is a psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end. It's a taut, tense thriller that will suck you right in and keep you flipping pages, eager to uncover the truth as quickly as possible.
Tamsin is a young woman who has just married the man of her dreams. Sure, Robin is a bit older than her, but she doesn't care. He's a well-known (and well-respected) musician, and Tamsin wants for nothing. But there's one pesky thorn in her side -- Mia. Mia is the house cleaner, but she's also a violinist, so she and Robin bond over music. Tamsin is jealous and decides to fire her.
But being let go ends up working out well for Mia...until it doesn't.
Robin suddenly dies, and when his will is read, everyone is shocked, including Robin's ex-wife and children. But how far will they go to get what they feel is rightfully theirs? What secrets are Robin's family hiding? And can the truth really set them all free?
I really enjoyed this story. It was easy to get lost within the pages trying to figure out just who had the motive to do the bad things happening in the book. There were quite a few suspects, but in the end, I was both surprised and also not really surprised by how it played out.
I wasn't keen on Tamsin at first, but she grew on me as the book progressed. Mia was also a likeable character, even with her past. Robin's ex and kids were all kind of awful, but that's to be expected.
The plot is exciting. The mystery is engaging. And the overall story feels very real. You just know there are families out there who would probably kill for money/what they feel is rightfully theirs if a will didn't contain what they expected it to.
If you're a fan of the genre, definitely check out The Second Wife.
4.5 stars!
