Dear Wife
Dear Wife | Kimberly Belle
From the bestselling author of The Marriage Lie and Three Days Missing comes a riveting new novel of suspense about a woman who, in a fight for survival, must decide just how far she'll go to escape the person she once loved Beth Murphy is on the run... For nearly a year, Beth has been planning for this day. A day some people might call any other Wednesday, but Beth prefers to see it as her new beginning--one with a new look, new name and new city. Beth has given her plan significant thought, because one small slip and her violent husband will find her. Sabine Hardison is missing... A couple hundred miles away, Jeffrey returns home from a work trip to find his wife, Sabine, is missing. Wherever she is, she's taken almost nothing with her. Her abandoned car is the only evidence the police have, and all signs point to foul play. As the police search for leads, the case becomes more and more convoluted. Sabine's carefully laid plans for her future indicate trouble at home, and a husband who would be better off with her gone. The detective on the case will stop at nothing to find out what happened and bring this missing woman home. Where is Sabine? And who is Beth? The only thing that's certain is that someone is lying and the truth won't stay buried for long.

This one really keeps you guessing. Three narrators tell this story: a wife on the run, a husband looking for his missing wife, and the cop trying to find her. I couldn‘t put it down.

This is a page turner, and I couldn‘t stop reading! Kimberly Belle has written a very edgy and intense, thought-provoking novel that I highly recommend.

This was a nice, quick audiobook that, while kind of easy to figure out, kept me listening when similar books tend to sometimes have me zoning out. The twists weren‘t especially twisty but the cat-and-mouse feel to it, especially the second half, was intriguing. 🌟🌟🌟

❐ Overall Rating 5 | Narration 5
Since I believe that it‘s best to go into this blind; I won‘t give anything away --warning: some reviews on Goodreads DO give too much away. I had fun trying to guess exactly what was up with this one...and overall it ticks quite a few boxes of what makes a good mystery/thriller for me. Also, the narration is top-notch on this.

Beth is running away from an abusive spouse. One small slip is life or death.
Sabine is missing and after finding her abandoned car the police believe in foul play and her husband is the number one suspect.
Marcus is the detective assigned to Sabine's case and will stop at nothing to bring her home.
Told from three POVs this thriller intertwines the two lives for a great ending.
Warning: a component of domestic violence exists in this novel.

Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. Beth has finally left her abusive husband and fearful he will find her. Jeffrey comes home to find his wife Sabine missing, Police and her sister Ingrid are suspicious as to what has happened to Sabine and if Jeffrey has done something to her. A pageturner of a domestic thriller with some unexpected turns. Definitely worth reading if you like domestic thrillers.

I just have to say - I'm always grateful for the option to check out digital loans from the library, but I'm ESPECIALLY grateful for it right now while not really able to leave the house. It gives a strange amount of comfort to virtually browse the stacks or get a notification that a hold has come in 👏🏽 📚 📖 #libby

Determined to not have anyone else 5y

I‘m joining in on the #thrillersandstacks challenge on Bookstagram. This represents a very small portion of the thrillers in my TBR pile. Although I am not interested in every single thriller out there, it‘s definitely my favorite genre and I have quite a few waiting to be read! What thrillers are at the top of your TBR pile?

I thought this book was so good 😀 I was trying to figure out what was going on and how the characters were all connected . Although I did figure some of the things out there was still a twist that kept me wanting more.

I forgot to post my last audiobook. I'm normally not a fan of thrillers but I think I found a new nitch I enjoy. The "domestic drama" thriller. This one did not disappoint. I guessed only one of the big twists but I definitely didn't see where the end was heading until it was there. #audiobook #scribd #domesticdrama #thriller
