The Other Mrs. by Mary Kubica

A special thank you to Edelweiss, NetGalley, and Park Row Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Fousts are starting over in Maine. Sadie and Will have moved their family from Chicago to a small island town. Shortly after moving, their neighbour, Morgan Baines, is found dead in her home.

Sadie is not only shaken up by the murder, but she's also creeped out by their dilapidated old home that was inherited from Will's sister after her sudden and unexpected death. As Sadie obsesses over what happened, she also has to deal with Will's niece, Imogen, who they are now guardians of. But the more Sadie discovers about the town, and its residents, the more she realizes that she may be involved in the murder.

One woman's struggles, another's obsession, and a little girl named Mouse collide in this hypnotic and complex narrative. Told from multiple perspectives, The Other Mrs. has strong pacing and incredibly complex characters. This story is hypnotic and well-sculpted and I was hooked from the first page.

Kubica is a master at this genre and this is my favourite book of hers to date.
