True Crime fanatic here!!! I love True Crime shows, books, podcasts. You name it, I'm down to look, listen or hear it.

Secrets of a Marine's Wife was a "good" read. Erin Corwin and her husband Jon are a newly married, young military couple. With a recent move to Twenty Seven Palms in California, they've learned to make some adjustments to living on base. Befriending two other couples in the same apartment complex, the couples often get together to have dinner, hang out and lean on each other in trying times.

In preparation for a visit from her mom, newly pregnant Erin takes a day trip to Joshua Tree Park, hoping to find great spots to show her. However, Erin never returns home. The heat increasing with each passing day and no word from Erin, suspicions being to mount in the quiet Marine Community. It's soon discovered by Detectives that Erin was having an affair with Christopher Lee (another Marine from the couple's circle of friends). Lacking a sense of direction, everyone thinks Erin is just lost. But, in the coming days it's revealed her disappearance is more sinister than they expected. Fingers start pointing, paternity becomes questionable and the clock is ticking to find Erin Corwin.

I enjoyed this true crime story, but the book could've used a little more editing. There was SO much information in the book that I sometimes found myself thinking, "was that really necessary to add"? Certain information that I felt was just shoved into the story in random spots. Otherwise, it was a decent read.

This was a wonderful book. It's written in a sympathetic way that should leave a lot of people pleased they read it.

I'm glad to see that you caught the error in the title. Previously, the title was a "Soldier's Wife." For better or for worse, Marines don't consider themselves soldiers. They are Marines. Calling them soldiers would be offensive and make you look ignorant.
