The Last Housewife by Ashley Winstead
3.0

ARC REVIEW
This book really took me by surprise, it was extremely dark and gripping, and was not at all what I expected it to be. I read this very fast, there were so many twists and turns that I found it hard to put down, I just had to know what was going to happen next. It had its faults, I felt in some parts the believability dropped, the characters didn’t stand out, and the romance felt kinda thrown in and unnecessary, but the ending really got me. I thought it really brought everything together. I also really enjoyed the use of the podcast transcripts, not only was it a creative delivery but it also made a lot of sense and worked with the story. With the rise of true crime podcasts and youtube channels, it didn’t feel like a random addition at all.
While I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone, I think for people who enjoy thrillers that cover dark and serious topics, especially around women’s issues, then you should definitely check this out.
