It's so interesting how meeting a certain person can completely change someone's life, and how one lie can completely spiral out of control.
This is explored in Such a Good Wife - when Melanie embarks on an affair with famous author Luke, she struggles to keep it from her family, but when he is found murdered things get a lot more complicated. The opening chapter of Such a Good Wife is brilliant, as Melanie walks through Luke's home, discovers him dead and panics to cover her trail of even knowing him to stop her affair being made public. The book then alternates between past and present as we learn how the affair started and how the murder investigation is progressing.
Although I initially enjoyed the first chapter, I found some of the book to be a little hard going. Melanie makes some really stupid mistakes and just digs the hole in deeper with every decision she makes. This happens both in the flashback and present-day chapters and I actually found it quite cringey in places - it's like watching a slow-motion car crash. Her husband Collin is also painted as such a lovely character that I found it quite hard to empathise with Mel at all. Something that I only really realised upon thinking back over the book to review it is that Mel's mother in law, who has dementia and starts running off to unknown places during the day, is never really given a conclusion or is relevant to the plot in any way. I was expecting her to reveal information to the wrong person, find something she shouldn't have done or something to be made of her escape attempts but this is never given any kind of relevance - she could have easily been written out of the story.
The plot is nicely constructed, with twists and turns well-placed throughout the book to keep you hooked. Some information is deliberately held back until a convenient point in the plot though which made it feel a little unrealistic. I did really enjoy the ending twist though and I actually didn't see it coming straight away! You do have to suspend your disbelief for the latter part of this book though and the conclusion might be triggering for sexual assault survivors.
Overall, Such a Good Wife is a twisty tale but be prepared to be frustrated by the main character and her silly decisions! Thank you to NetGalley & Harlequin - Graydon House for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
