This was not what I would call a thriller per say but the suburban wives drama with a side of murder is so fun. The villians are so caricature-y but in a way that makes everything so intensely dramatic. Every time x character did something I thought they couldn’t be any worse and I was wrong. But I had a fun time with it.

The slowest burn I've ever read from a thriller. Only picked up at the 7 hour mark. Which is a little unfortunate that you spend 7 hours listening to only get 2 hours of intriguing action.

October 2024 Update! After listening to the audio of and thoroughly enjoying several more of Ms Rose's books, I gave this one another try, and WOW! I'm so glad I did. The story was rapid-paced and perfectly woven together. I did not see the ending coming at all, especially after the first twist happened. I'm so glad I gave this book another try.

June 2023: Two thirds the way into the book, no one was dead and I still couldn't find a point to the story. Super bummed after enjoying The Perfect Marriage so much.

The ending on this felt a little rushed. Also a bit too much telling rather than showing. But I loved the characterization of each woman and how they felt like their own whole characters. I do wish that Olivia’s obvious sociopathy was explored a bit more.
