I was in the mood for a great thriller, and THE OTHER MRS. by Mary Kubica did not disappoint! It’s set in a small town in Maine where Sadie and Will Foust have relocated from Chicago. Soon after they move in, their neighbor, Morgan Baines, is found dead. What happened to her? From there, the story whips you in one direction and then another, and at no point did I see the ending coming. Actually, there was a lot that I did not see coming.

The multiple layers and the surprising twists throughout throttled it ahead to be something even more complex than I first thought it was; the action is so ramped up. It’s hard to share more without giving too much away, and I want readers to have the pleasure of discovery with it that I had. It is so, so well done --- and remember to breathe as you read it; that’s how brisk it is. Huge bravo to Mary!
