5.0

Every time I read a thriller I’m reminded of how much I love thrillers. 

The Younger Wife was gloriously written. I loved bouncing between the characters and slowly piecing together the puzzle along the way. 

Your heart will go out to the women in this book.

My actual rating for this book is 3.5, but I rounded it to 4.  I enjoyed the characters and the story, but there were a ridiculous number of issues in this book.
