Pretty Little Wife

Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane, 402 pages

While it looks great from the outside, Lila and Aaron's marriage is rotten to the core. Aaron constantly subjects Lila to emotional and verbal abuse that eventually turns physical, and Lila has discovered some fairly horrible habits of Aaron's, that could land him in jail if the info gets out. So when Aaron goes missing, the rest of the community is concerned. Lila, however, is frantic — after all, she killed him, and dead guys don't just walk away, do they?

It's an interesting premise, and Kane does a good job of creating suspense and shifting suspicions. There are, however, absolutely ZERO likeable characters in this book, so keep that in mind if you pick it up. Fans of Gone Girl would probably enjoy this one.
