The New York Times bestselling novel soon to be a major motion picture starring Nicole Kidman, for fans of The Woman in the Window and The Silent Patient.”I gobbled it down in one sitting.” – Anne Lamott, People
Jodi and Todd are at a bad place in their marriage. Much is at stake, including the affluent life they lead in their beautiful waterfront condo in Chicago, as she, the killer, and he, … waterfront condo in Chicago, as she, the killer, and he, the victim, rush haplessly toward the main event. He is a committed cheater. She lives and breathes denial. He exists in dual worlds. She likes to settle scores. He decides to play for keeps. She has nothing left to lose. Told in alternating voices, The Silent Wife is about a marriage in the throes of dissolution, a couple headed for catastrophe, concessions that can’t be made, and promises that won’t be kept. Expertly plotted and reminiscent of Gone Girl and These Things Hidden, The Silent Wife ensnares the reader from page one and does not let go.

I read this a couple of years ago but I can still remember it so it must have been good. : )
Good read, but the end was a bit of a let down. The book gets you so interested, not the climactic ending I expected.
Classy read. The reader is hooked from the first page and must keep reading to see where this is going. Jodi is a “saint” and in the end I was cheering for her victories. Todd is also likeable, but he is so immature I just wanted to slap him. The story is written from a third person’s perspective about Jodi and Todd, and it doesn’t bog one down with too many details.
