I get so excited when I know that Mary Kubica has a new book coming out because I know how great the book is going to be and she doesn't disappoint with her latest winner. I couldn't put it down.. It's like driving past the scene of an accident and you know you shouldn't look but you have to.. Immerse your self in this amazing book and prepare to be dazzled. Happy reading!

Happy Pub Day to The Other Mrs! ✨🎉

I absolutely LOVE Mary Kubica. That being said, I was super excited when I was approved to read her book early. I DEVOURED this book. Her books are so good because they are twisty, suspenseful, well written and make you go, WHAT?! 😳

The Other Mrs is about married couple Sadie & Will Foust. After a death in the family they move with their two sons to a small island off the coast of Maine. Secluded much?! When a neighbor is suddenly murdered, Sadie becomes obsessed with finding the killer. As she starts to figure it out, secrets are slowly revealed- it seems like almost everyone around her is hiding something juicy...

I loved this book! When I thought I knew what was going to happen something else was thrown in that made me backtrack my thoughts completely! The characters were well developed and I found myself sympathetic toward the victims and the murderer. This book touched on everything from marital affairs, troubled children, mental illness and of course, murder. 🔪

I just love these psychological thrillers and I was in the mood for a good one. I’m glad this was it! A really big huge thanks to @netgalley and @parkrowbooks for this advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

4.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Very entertaining, on the edge of your seat, page-turner. Enjoyed it very much even though the characters are not very likable and some twists I did see coming. Thank you netgalley and publisher for this arc in exchange of an honest review.

Sadie and her husband inherit a house in Maine after the death of Will's sister, Alice. So they move their two sons from Chicago to chilly Maine, hoping for a fresh start. Moving to Maine means living with Alice's broody sixteen-year-old daughter, Imogen. Will is convinced she's just grieving the loss of her mother, but Sadie isn't so sure. Then their neighbor, Morgan Baines, is found murdered--a death that rocks their small community. Sadie no longer feels safe in her own home, so she starts looking into Morgan's death. But soon she realizes that suspicion is pointed at her own family, and that the more she discovers about Morgan's death, the more she has to lose.

This was a great twisty thriller from Kubica. It started off a little confusing, but once it got going, it was completely mesmerizing. It's told from three points of view, and each has you riveted, wondering how they all fit together and what on earth is going on in this small Maine town. Who murdered Morgan Baines--and why?

The gloom of Maine and the creepiness of Sadie's new house comes across quite clear; the book can be downright spooky at times. You're never quite sure who to trust or what to believe, either. I found myself frantically flipping the pages, wanting to find out what was happening. There are a lot of pieces to fit together--angry Imogen, unreliable Sadie, supposedly perfect Will, angsty Otto (Sadie's eldest son), and the Baines and their marriage. I loved trying to piece everything together.

There are a ton of twists and turns and while some seem a little crazy, it made for a wild ride. I guessed a few and gasped at others, so that was fun. I must note, though, that there is a suicide trigger (not a spoiler, as it's Alice's death). There's a lot of detail about her death and as someone who lost someone in that same manner, I found it very hard to read about. So just keep that in mind. However, overall, this was a really captivating and dark thriller. 4 stars.

Mary Kubica has done it again. In this newest thriller, we meet Sadie & Will Foust who have recently relocated their family from Chicago to an island in Maine after they inherited a house and guardianship of their niece. If moving to a sparsely populated island in Maine and soon after learning your neighbor was murdered inside their home isn't scary enough, we find that the Foust family was leaving Chicago behind for a fresh start because of some disturbing things in their past.

Each chapter is a different person's point of view and the further we dive into this character-driven thriller, the more confusing and dark things get. Sadie appears determined to get to the bottom of this murder investigation - but what will she do when the police start to question her about her relationship with the murder victim?

I enjoyed this ride and without giving much more away, think you will too.

Thank you @netgalley and @parkrowbooks for the advanced reader copy.

If you like your thrillers and you like 'em twisty, don't miss this one!
Thank you to Netgalley and Park Lane Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is the third Mary Kubica book I've read and easily my favorite of hers thus far.
There's a lot to unpack here - infidelity, chronic illness, grief, bullying, suicide, murder. A physician and her professor husband relocate to his sister's aging house on an island in Maine, to care for their niece as well as have a restart in life. A murder next door unseats the new neighbours and the entire community.
The story is told by Sadie, Camille and "Mouse", calling into question as to who of them is unreliable, if anyone. Red herrings are abundant and everything is in question here! Enjoy the ride and the read.
For release Feb. 18, 2020.

I had high hopes for this one based on the Goodreads reviews and the news of the Netflix show but unfortunately it didn't work for me. The first third of the book was compelling, but then once I figured out what was happening (maybe I read too many thrillers?) I had to push myself to finish it. The twist was pretty obvious once I started picking up on the clues being dropped, and it was dependent on an overused trope that I find to be unoriginal and somewhat offensive (the author's note seemed to try to explain the motivation behind this but it still wasn't convincing to me). While this book is sure to be successful, I wish that the story was stronger.

So... Uhm. Yeah. This was filled with so much twists and turns that it pushed toward unbelievable. However, what a great tale that explores a gripping subject matter. Sadie, her husband, Will move into the home his sister killed herself in and left her teenaged daughter, Imogen. All I can say is that this was the kind of read where each chapter unfolded events that brought you toward a conclusion, I didn't see coming.

Sadie and Will Foust have had the share of problems, and when Will inherits his sister’s house in a sleepy little town on the coast of Maine, so they pack up their two boys and move. See, Sadie is still reeling from the bombshell that Will dropped on her about his affair and this is suppose to be a fresh start for them. It’s a beautiful house but with the house comes the daughter of Will’s late sister. She is rebellious and resentful of Sadie and Will. But that isn’t all that they are going to have to face once they settle in. It isn’t long before the neighbor is found dead and things start to unravel for Sadie and Will.

The story in given in multiple points of view. Of course we have Sadie, the other woman Camille, a young girl called Mouse and Sadie’s husband. It sound like it would be a lot to keep up with with but it really wasn’t. Getting to see everything from all sides is always a bonus when reading a book like this. The little girl Mouse, was the one I kept trying to figure out.

The main character is Sadie, is a doctor who now works in a small practice seeing the mundane head-colds and minor sprains which is no comparison to working in a large hospital like she is used to. Will is a part time professor and keeps up with the house and their boys and get them back and forth to school and has also taken on the responsibility of his niece Immogene. She is a handful to say the least. Camille is the “other woman” who is madly in love with Will and will do anything for him. There is quite a difference between Sadie and Camille. Sadie is more reserved and kinda quiet while Camille is Sadie’s former room mate and is more outgoing and kinda has a screw loose. Mouse’s story is one that just tears at your heartstrings. Definitely an interesting cast of characters to say the least.

From the start Sadie had this strange feeling about the house and the vibe it gave off was eerrie. This old house had a personality of it’s own. But this was a fresh start so she is trying to make the best of things but when she is suspected of murdering the woman next door questions start flooding her mind. She knows she didn’t kill her but there are things that just aren’t adding up. I won’t give away anymore than that and there are so many little twists and turns that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what was really going on. There were so many questions! Who really killed the neighbor? Who is Mouse and how did she fit into it all? And so many more… The big reveal was one that made my jaw drop as I did not even go down that path of possibilities. It was pretty great!

The Other Mrs. had all the things that I look for in a psychological thriller. A mystery that keeps me guessing, just enough suspense and characters that you question but want to believe and an ending that brings it all together. It was such a great read and I hope I have made you curious enough to read it too.

I was in the mood for a thriller. I wanted one that was atmospheric, compulsively readable, and fast-paced. I picked up *The Other Mrs.* on my kindle and my day was taken over! Though there were a few parts in the middle that dragged, it was a great ride! Psychological thrillers are really circulating right now and this book is sure to be fan favorite.

(4.5/5) What a super, spine-chilling, creepy psychological thriller! The switching of characters was well done and kept me guessing to the very end. And the twist at the end was amazing. Very well done! I highly recommend this page-turner of a book. You will not be able to put this one down.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.

The other Mrs. was great! It was absolutely terrifying and exciting at the same time. I could not put the book down. I was a little confused at first with the switching of the characters and I could not figure out who was who for the longest time. The book seriously kept me guessing the whole entire time, even when I thought I knew what was happening, I was still wrong. Mary Kubica did an amazing job with this one even though parts of it were a little terrifying. There was such a surprise twist and it was the perfect ending to a book.

What a great thriller! I could not put this down and was thoroughly creeped out by the twist!!
I always look for this author's work!
Thank you so much for this early copy. Ive already also reviewed on Goodreads and Instagram!

This is another domestic thriller from the American author of such books as 'The Good Girl' and 'Pretty Baby'. Her most recent novel was 'When The Lights Go Out'. In this one we follow the lives of Will and Sadie. When Will's sister dies he inherits a home on an island off the coast of Maine and guardianship of an angry 16 year old niece. Wanting a fresh start, they pack up and move their two sons to live on the island. When a neighbour is murdered and strange things start happening, Sadie investigates. This is a good recommendation for domestic thriller fans and is my favourite book of hers to date.

I have to say I'm a definite fan of a twisty tale that keeps me guessing (for the most part) until close to the end of the book. Ms. Kubica did a great job with The Other Mrs. I was hooked and had to figure out "who did it" so I kept flipping the pages until the mystery resolved itself.

You meet a seemingly normal family - - Sadie and Will Foust and their two sons. They have recently moved to take over his deceased sister's home and the guardianship of their sixteen year old niece. However, their marriage is apparently a bit rocky and they have moved there for a "fresh start." You can tell right from the onset that there is a great deal of stress still between Sadie and Will. She seems to be unhappy with the move in general and is also having difficulty trusting her husband's faithfulness. Their niece is also struggling and doesn't want them there and one of their sons is battling his own issues. All in all, there is a lot going on. Then, to complicate things even further, the neighbor is murdered and an already stressful existence gets even worse.

I really enjoyed how Ms. Kubica took us through the emotions at play in Sadie's mind. She was trying to be the perfect wife, mother and doctor. All the while, she didn't know who she could really trust and had moved to a city where she didn't really have any friends. I loved the suspense of it all.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

So, this book was pretty good! I spent a good portion of the book trying to figure out how this story was gonna go. I had a few different ideas but then I’d be like, “well that can’t be right because...” At the point where I did figure it out, there was still a bit of a surprise left that was pretty clever. I think the author did a good job writing this in a way that keeps the reader confused (in a good way) and that kept up the suspense. This is a great thriller that’ll keep you guessing.

I really loved the blurb for Mary Kubica’s newest book, but this one fell a bit short for me. This one was told in three perspectives…Sadie, Camille and Mouse, although, the reader is trying to figure out who Camille and Mouse are for most of the book. I found myself bored through most of this story.

Will’s sister, Alice, committed suicide and left her 16 year old daughter, Imogen, in his care. Will and his family move into his sister’s house to help care for Imogen, who is an angry 16-year-old who wants nothing to do with her new family living with her.

Most of the story revolves around a murder in their neighborhood, while throwing in a few twists and turns. I figured out the ending about halfway through the book which is why I gave it three stars. This one missed the mark for me. I was hoping for more creepiness, not so many character perspectives, etc.

I sat down to read this book and I could not put it down. Very good writing and intriguing story.
I will definitely recommend this book to my book club ladies.

This is a slow build thriller that relies on the big twisty reveal to compensate for the lack of thrills throughout. There was so many great plot devices sprinkled into this book and ultimately not utilized, the biggest one being the island itself. What's creepier than living on an island where you can only ferry on and off during certain times of the day? Once you're on, you're on. Once you're off, you're off. That gave me chills when I first read the author's introduction of this plot point. Sadly, she abandoned it. It had no part in the story and did nothing to forward any of the plots.

What are the dogs' names? I don't remember them being given names, and if they were, the author used the dogs so little that they might as well have been removed from the book. Also, there are multiple ways they could have tied into the big reveal. My mind races with all the ways they could have been used wonderfully! What gives?

After reading this book, I thought of so many plot holes that made this book not only unrealistic, but offensive to an educated, thoughtful reader. How is Sadie, a DOCTOR, this stupid? She just can't be, except to the extent that it allows the ending to be tied up with a big fat bow.

Although I hung onto every word and was excited to get to the whodunnit, I was left disappointed.
