The Wife Between Us by Greer HendricksMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A story on primarily three characters - the husband, the wife and the other woman and a sincere attempt by the wife to stay sane to keep the marriage alive. This is the short synopsis if I am not supposed to reveal more. However, as the story progresses, the plot unravels slowly.
I was intrigued by the blurb on GR and the excellent reviews, so I bought the kindle version when I got a good bargain. The start was good. However, as the pages turn on, it becomes slow and drags a lot. The drama unfolds largely between the husband and wife and drags on for the most part of the book, which is necessary for the development of the plot. The climax is stunning and not revealed until the last couple of chapters. This is the saving grace of the book. There are moments when it becomes very interesting but few and far between. However, you need immense patience to read this book. It is a psychological thriller with a difference. The characters are well etched out and the writers bring out the complexities fully.
Not for somebody who loves action or wants an edge-of-the-seat thriller.
