It seems like forever that I actually read a book of fiction. In fact, it has been forever. I think the last fiction book I read was Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. That was a great book. I didn't even read the end of the book first this time. That is a major accomplishment for me.
Anyway, I am ready to start reading again. I think I found one - The Silent Wife by A.S.A. Harrison.
Ann Lamont (author of The Help) calls it this summer's Gone Girl. Well, that certainly peaked my interest. She says that she gobbled it down in one sitting.
I don't think I have ever done that. Only because I tend to fall asleep reading.
Here is a brief synopsis from Good Reads:
A chilling psychological thriller about a marriage, a way of life, and how far one woman will go to keep what is rightfully hers
Jodi and Todd are at a bad place in their marriage. Much is at stake, including the affluent life they lead in their beautiful waterfront condo in Chicago, as she, the killer, and he, the victim, rush haplessly toward the main event. He is a committed cheater. She lives and breathes denial. He exists in dual worlds. She likes to settle scores. He decides to play for keeps. She has nothing left to lose. Told in alternating voices, The Silent Wife is about a marriage in the throes of dissolution, a couple headed for catastrophe, concessions that can’t be made, and promises that won’t be kept. Expertly plotted and reminiscent of Gone Girl and These Things Hidden, The Silent Wife ensnares the reader from page one and does not let go.
What are you reading? I'd love to know.......
