The Second Wife by Sheryl Browne
4.0

Well, that was an unexpectedly twisted, dark read!

I have quite a few of Browne's books on my kindle, gathering cyber dust, and for that I am now filled with regret. I opened this one up not even recalling what it was about and found myself immersed in a disturbing and twisted plot that had me shaking my head and furiously turning the pages.

Nicole and Rebecca are best friends. Time and distance have kept them from seeing each other for three years. Becky was not prepared for the devastating phone call she received from Nicole's new husband informing her that she had committed suicide. Becky simply can not believe that Nicole took her own life. Knowing there is more to what happened, Becky steps into the life Nicole left behind.

What follows is a captivating psychological suspense filled story of love, friendship, betrayal, lies, deceit and a friend who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. Be prepared for some disturbing moments, twisted relationships and a whole bunch of treachery! If you're like me - you'll enjoy the roller coaster ride of emotions.

Thank you Sheryl Browne, Bookouture and NetGalley for an advance reader's copy of this book to review.
