Pretty Little Wife: A Suspenseful Mystery Thriller Set in an Idyllic College Town with Dark Secrets

Lila Ridgefield lives in an idyllic college town, but not everything is what it seems. Lila isn't what she seems. A student vanished months ago. Now, Lila's husband, Aaron, is also missing. At first these cases are treated as horrible coincidences until it's discovered the student is really the third of three unexplained disappearances over the last few years. The police are desperate to find the connection, if there even is one. Little do they know they might be stumbling over only part of the truth.... With the small town in an uproar, everyone is worried about the whereabouts of their beloved high school teacher. Everyone except Lila, his wife. She's definitely confused about her missing husband but only because she was the last person to see his body, and now it's gone.

This had promise but honestly it just wasn’t that good. The twist was okay but nothing ground breaking. All around just eh? 5/10

The dynamic between the two females leads was phenomenally written and executed. The title of this book nearly threw me off, because it is terrible, but the story was brilliant. Kept me guessing until the end and the conclusion felt well earned and fleshed out.

He was dead, she knew he was dead, she killed him....at least, she thought she did?

Lila Ridgefield's husband is missing. The husband she once thought was a 'safe' choice, but had recently learned of his dark side, the husband she thought she had killed and left to be found.... Everyone is a suspect. Lila herself, the nosy neighbor, her husband's best friend, her brother-in-law.... no one can be trusted. Add to this that there are a few local women missing. Is it related? How will she connect all of the pieces?

I LOVED this one. Lots of characters and twists and turns. Every character with their own flaws and motivations to be the killer. Highly recommended for anyone who loves suspense!
