A hot mess of a plot wrapped around a cliche

Sadie and Will Foust are desperately in need of a new start, so after the death of Will's sister, they relocate to a small island in Maine to help raise Will's niece Imogen. Only weeks later, they are shocked by the brutal murder of their neighbor Morgan. Told from three points of view: Sadie, who seems to be of precarious mental state since the murder; Camille, Will's stalkerish former mistress; and Mouse, an abused little girl, The Other Mrs is a bit convoluted. With all the story lines and complications, the plot was a hot mess.

Early on, I figured out what was going on, and it just felt too easy. Really, you are going with that cliche? Luckily, Kubica had one more twist, which redeemed the book somewhat, but didn't do enough to really salvage it for me.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
