The First Wife by Erica Spindler

3.0

So this is basically a Lifetime movie. And like most Lifetime movies, I felt oddly compelled to finish it, no matter how corny things are along the way. The writing left a lot to be desired, the characters weren't really ones I connected with or rooted for. The resolution of the mystery seemed so blatantly obvious that I knew it couldn't be right and I wanted to find out the twist. Though a lot of the book was drawn out and repetitive, it did do a good job of keeping me guessing. I suspected nearly everybody at one point or another and there was a couple of twists that surprised me.

I generally enjoyed the book, though I won't be running out to read anything else by this author in the near future. I think fans of Lifetime mysteries would enjoy it.
