Happy Book Pub Day to my first book of 2021, The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins. I received an advance reader copy of this deliciously suspenseful novel from the publisher via NetGalley.



First Chapter:  Part I

Jane

Chapter One

February

It is the absolute shittiest day for a walk.

Rain has been pouring down all morning, making my drive from Center Point out here to Mountain Brook a nightmare, soaking the hem of my jeans as I got out of the car in the Reeds' driveway, making my sneakers squelch on the marble floors of the foyer.

 

What do you think?  Would you continue reading?

Husband and wife Bea and Eddie Rochester seem to have an ideal marriage, living an opulent life that makes them the envy of their neighbors. But when Bea disappears after a boating accident, everything changes. As Eddie begins a life without Bea, he meets Jane, a young woman from the opposite side of the tracks. When their relationship grows serious, unanswered questions about Bea's accident intensify. What really happened on that fateful evening? 

The Wife Upstairs is an unputdownable, suspenseful tale with manipulative characters who each have deep, dark secrets. Surprising twists and turns propel the plot from beginning to breathtaking end.

  10. Many toy store pakistan collectibles are things which were fabricated to be gathered (for instance Beanie Children) or which individuals appreciate gathering (Beatles memorabilia). Nonetheless, collectibles are not a decent decision for individuals who need pay without doing some selling themselves.
