Such a Perfect Wife: A Novel
New York Times bestselling author Kate White returns with a gripping story about a true-crime reporter uncovering the secrets that lie beneath the surface of a placid small town, perfect for readers of Jessica Knoll, Alafair Burke, and Liv Constantine.
Blonde. Beautiful. A loving mother. And missing since Monday.
On a sunny morning in late September, Shannon Blaine sets off for a jog along the rural roads near her home in Lake George, New York. It’s her usual a.m. routine, her “me time” after dropping the kids off at school…except on this day she never returns.
Is her husband lying when he says he has no clue where she is? Could Shannon have split on her own, overwhelmed by the pressures of her life? Or is she the victim of a sexual predator who had been prowling the area and snatched her before she knew what was happening.
True crime writer Bailey Weggins, on assignment for the website Crime Beat, heads north from New York City to report on the mysterious disappearance. An anonymous tip soon leads Bailey to a grisly, bone-chilling discovery. Every town has its secrets, Bailey reminds herself, and nothing is ever as perfect as it seems. She keeps digging for answers until—when it’s almost too late—she unearths the terrifying truth.

I feel like I had too much happening in July but finally read it August! Around page 200 I started to realize that though this book isn't labeled as such, it has to be in a series and it is! #8 lol!
Having started with book 8 and with this being my first Kate White book, I will tell you I loved it. I was definitely here for the drama. My only shade is that it did feel a bit scooby doo-ish at times (specifically at the end) in that while it gave you the entire mystery, it popped up with connections that the reader could never have guessed on their own.
