The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth
3.0

3.5 stars
Stephen is adored by everyone who knows him. He is getting remarried to a much younger woman (Heather) but his wife (Pam) is very much alive although she suffers from dementia.
Rachel (one of Stephen's daughters) has a few of her mother's items one of those is a hot water bottle. She finds out it is stuffed with money. No one seems to know how Pam ended up with the money or why. (In the end, we do find out the answer to this question) The daughters start thinking about their childhood and family dynamics. They begin asking questions that unravel what they thought was an ideal childhood.

This book was an easy read for me. I wasn't sure who was killed in the beginning but as the story went on it was pretty easy to figure out. I had a different ending in mind and honestly, I liked my ending better
