Mary Kubica is becoming one of my favorite authors in the suspense genre. Her new one, The Other Mrs., is a twisty tale will a fascinating conclusion.
Sadie and Will Faust have just inherited a house in Maine after Will's sister commits suicide. With the house comes guardianship of Will's niece, Imogene. They decide they need a change from Chicago, so the Fausts, including their two young sons, move into the old house. Sadie has many misgivings about the move and taking care of Imogene, but she wants to start again while trying to forgive Will his indiscretions in Chicago. So, she dives into her new job at a medical clinic, but soon their lives begin to unravel when a neighbor on their street is murdered. Will claims to not know the victim well, but is he lying? Sadie claims to have never met her at all, and yet an elderly neighbor swears he saw the two women fighting. Could creepy Imogene have something to do with it? But why? Why is their teenage son drawing such gruesome pictures? So many questions!
If you like a good page-turning, psychological suspense novel, The Other Mrs. will not disappoint. I liked it a lot, but I did manage to guess some of what was going on. However, (spoiler alert if you remember this movie) when I was young, I was obsessed with a little film called Sybil with Sally Field. Enjoy!
