~*The Other Mrs by Mary Kubica*~
5 out of 5 stars
Thank you to NetGalley and Park Row for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review
Chicago native Dr.Sadie Foust moves to a small Main island with her husband and two sons after his sister commits suicide and leaves him her house and her 16 year old daughter Imogene. Sadie is not thrilled with leaving Chicago but what can they do? Her son has been expelled from his school, she has had issues with work and her husband has recently had an affair. So they pack up and move. The problem is that the Main island is small and everyone seems to know everyone. It also doesn't help that Imogene seems very hostile towards Sadie no matter what she does.
Things that go from bad to worse when the woman down the street is murdered and the police keep stopping by and asking Sadie questions. Determined to solve the murder herself before someone in the family gets blamed for out Sadie puts herself in danger.
I think this the best Mary Kubica book that I have read. I loved that Kubica left Chicago for this novel. DOn't get me wrong, I lived in Chicago for years and I loved it but it is nice to see Sadie as a fish out of water in a small coast town. While I did think that the main twist was obvious from the second chapter it doesn't hurt the book because Mary Kubica handled it in a delicate and thoughtful manner. I looked forward to picking this book up at the end of the night and I don't think I could give this a better recommendation than that!
