Here on GoodReads you can read a synopsis of the book so my reviews don't go into all that. There's a chance I'll say too much and spoil it for you so I'll just tell you what I thought about it. I hope that's copacetic enough for you.

I was so wrapped up in this story! I almost couldn't put my Book of the Month copy down and it sure got a little strange at the end so I dared myself not to. I just had to know what was going on! This one takes the reader down a spiral of ‘What just happened?' and you may not recover from it unless you're one who appreciates the storyteller. You find yourself wishing you had paid special attention to all the details. You begin to question every assumption you made because you just knew you had it all figured out and even if you did have a few things guessed right I'll bet you were still a good way off from what it's really about. It might even have ticked you off that you were wrong. That, my friend, is the clever artistry by which Tarryn Fisher weaves her stories. I am one of those readers who can't get enough of that. Here it is a month after I finished The Wives and I'm still thinking about it. Thanks for the ride, Tarryn!
