Review: The Wife Between Us

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I took up this novel after reading a number of other reviews. While the writing is very good, and so is the story, my rating is not as high as many of the other reviewers. The pace is really quite slow till about the middle of the book, after which the story progresses pretty well.

This is a domestic drama + thriller and the story revolves around 3 primary characters – Richard, Vanessa & Emma. Vanessa and Richard are separated, and Richard is all set to marry Emma. This is something Vanessa finds very difficult to take and she is obsessed with doing something about it.
It is a little difficult to get into any further details without spoilers, and hence I will avoid that.

However, there are a number of aspects of all the three characters which are revealed gradually, and there are twists as you move along.

Overall, well worth a read for it’s story and writing, and yet – would have been great if the pace had been better.
