This book "The Wife" is the first one I have read by Alafair Burke. I finished it before the new year. This story is well written and keeps you intrigued and interested. It is worth reading.

The first piece of trouble was a girl named Rachel. Sorry, not a girl. A woman named Rachel.
Rounding this one up to 5 stars simply because of how enjoyable of a read it was. Love the author's writing style, and the story goes way beyond another chapter in the #MeToo era with twists and turns that I didn't see coming, even as a seasoned thriller veteran.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one and read the majority of it in one sitting! Hard to review without spoiling the various twists and turns, but it kept me engaged and guessing until the very end! I only took a star off because I didn’t feel completely satisfied with the ending!

The story is written well and it is captivating but the ending disappointed me. It almost feels unfinished.

Inderdaad een zeer verrassend plot. Toch ben ik in zijn totaliteit niet heel enthousiast over dit boek. Ik vond het bij tijden nogal langdradig en er werd behoorlijk uitgeweid over de economische en zakelijke belangen van Jason. Het verhaal wordt voornamelijk verteld door Angela, de echtgenote en het hoofdpersonage, in de ik-vorm en door rechercheur Corinne Duncan in de derde persoon, met tussendoor wat kortere emailberichten of korte verslagen van of naar bijvoorbeeld advocaten. Ondanks de ik-vorm kreeg ik totaal geen binding met Angela en bleef het allemaal erg afstandelijk.
Wat mij betreft nogal teleurstellend. Ik had er meer van verwacht.
