Dear Wife, by Kimberly Belle, is a riveting, cleverly plotted thriller about a woman who, in a fight for survival, is on the run from her abusive husband.
This leads to a suspenseful game of cat and mouse that kept me guessing until the very end.
An excellent psychological thriller with an ending I wasn't expecting.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin/Park Row for a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. ...more

FULL REVIEW POSTED 7/25/19

A perfectly messed-up story – one that will have you mind-boggled from start to finish. There’s more than a generous teaser above that should quickly grab your attention and push you towards the one-click button. And because I don’t want to spoil this absolutely amazing thriller for any reader, there won’t be many specifics in my review. It’s only fitting that you receive the total impact and the overall effect this story is designed to compel.

RATING: 3.5 STARS
2019; Park Row/Harlequin

I had a difficult time rating this one. Belle had me racing along with the novel to see where it was going. I knew one of the red herrings was just that a red herring, but I wanted to know how it all came together. This is also a difficult book to review because the things that didn't work for me are spoilers, lol. So, I am going to keep this review short...I liked Belle's writing and almost all the characterizations were strong, and the suspense was defi ...more

Good story, fast paced writing. Fairly easy to figure out what's going on but that didn't detract too much from the overall execution of the story. Just didn't really grab me.

Predictable but still worth the read. Had it figured out quickly in but still like how it ended.

3.5 stars, raised to 4*

Group read on goodreads. It took me a while to reconcile some questions/inconsistencies. Other questions I had were not resolved by the end of the book.
