I’m a huge fan of Tarryn Fisher’s creepy thrillers. The Wives is the book the got me out of a five year reading slump and brought me to where I am now in my reading. So when I saw this book I was so excited! She did not disappoint, of course.
Our MC Iris watched her twin sister being kidnapped right in front of her and believes that she was then trafficked and killed. She is met with lackluster support from the police department and makes it her mission to find out what happened, eventually working her way to an internship on Shoal Island which houses a prison for the criminally insane. Iris believes that her sister’s killer is imprisoned there.
The first 25% had me hooked. I loved getting the twins’ backstory and trying to figure out what happened. The final 20% was INSANE. A little unrealistic but still incredible and worthwhile. The middle was a sloooooooow burn. But, when I finished and knowing the twists going back over the slow parts I realized all the Easter eggs that were dropped so it was still worth it.
3.5
