Imagine that your husband has two other wives. Thursday is married to Seth and sees him only once a week on Thursdays. Seth has 2 other wives and he sees them on Monday and Tuesday. While doing laundry, Thursday finds a scrap of paper in Seth's pocket; an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and you just know it's another of his wives. You track her down, and, under false pretenses, you strike up a friendship with Hannah and she has no idea who you really are. You start to see bruises on Hannah and realize she's being abused by her husband who is your husband too. You've never know him to be violent. Who exactly is your husband, and how far would you be willing to go to find out? And who is his mysterious third wife?
This is a fast-paced, twisty thriller with an unreliable narrator. Everyone seems to be lying and hiding secrets. I found all the characters intriguing. This is my first Tarryn Fisher read but won't be my last. I look forward to reading The Wrong Family and some of her other books. If you like psychological suspense then you will enjoy this book.
