The Hunting Wives by May Cobb
3.0

The Hunting Wives by May Cobb ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

I read this book so long ago, and it was so impression-less to me, I’m not really sure what to talk about. 

This story follows a woman who has moved her family from the bustling life of Chicago to a small-town where she’s hopeful to make friends with the ‘in-crowd’. Then, while spending time with them, a murder takes place, and the town - and wives - are in an uproar. 

They story in itself was written pretty well, being lead to believe the murderer was one person only to then discover why it couldn’t have been them, etc. However, some of the storyline just dealt with things that I wasn’t interested in - cheating spouses, age gap relationships - so for me those brought the overall rating of the story down. 

I’d definitely give this author another chance, but I’m just now sure if this was the best book to start with. Therefore, I cannot really recommend or not recommend it. What I do recommend is perhaps giving it a chance for yourself or reading some other reviews that may be better than mine!
