I picked this book for its title (it intrigued me), but the author sucked me into the story from the first sentence—written from the antagonist’s point of view about a scheme he/she was perpetrating.

The author kept me guessing at his/her identity all the way through. (I remember getting a clue about 80 percent in…which was probably intentional.) It is a fantastic story told exceptionally well by a talented author.

From Leah's 3 favorite reads in 2023.

After reading Darby Kane’s Pretty Little Wife, I knew I had to pick up The Replacement Wife, and boy, am I glad I did. The main character in this book is also a mom and wife, but unlike a lot of other domestic thrillers, Elisa Wright is happy with her life. The problem isn’t her suspiciously-acting husband, but her brother-in-law, who was going to marry her good friend…until that friend went missing. The dips and swerves in this book had me convinced I knew what was going to come next, but I did not! I’ll admit, I do…

From Megan's list on when you don’t want to guess what’s going on.
