For fans of Liane Moriarty, Liv Constantine and Lisa Jewell, a twisty psychological thriller about a savvy second wife who will do almost anything to come out on top from theย New York Timesย bestselling author ofย Behind Her Eyes.
Marriage can be murderโฆ
SOMETHING OLD
Marcieโs affair with Jason Maddox catapulted her into the world of the elite.
Old money, old ties, old secrets. Marcie may have married into this worldโ
but sheโll never be part of it.
SOMETHING NEW
Then Jasonโs boss brings back a new wife from his trip to London.
Young, attractive, recklessโnobody can take their eyes off Keisha.
Including Marcieโs husband.
SOMETHING YOU CAN NEVER, EVER UNDOโฆ
Some people would kill for the life Marcie hasโwhat will she do to keep it?
Sarah Pinborough delves into the lives of old-monied elite, in her latest psychological thriller, DEAD TO HER.
Two trophy wives get caught up in a storm of secrets, as they navigate a life of which they will never fully be a part. Marcieโs marriage to Jason Maddox was the result of an affair, and now Marcie wonders if itโs only a matter of time before she too is on the outs. Her insecurity deepens when Jasonโs 65-year-old widowed boss, William Radford, returns from London with his new, 22-year-old wife, Keisha. Jason can hardly keep her eyes off her.
As we get to know the women and the men of Savannahโs wealthy elite, we realize not everything is as it seems. Everyone has something to hide, and no one wants to lose their country club status, mansions, and envy of others. Before too long, Williamโs domineering ways make life for Keisha unbearable, and Marcie canโt ignore that Jason is keeping secrets.
Marcie and Keishaโs relationship takes a turn as some of these secrets emerge and threaten to collapse the all-too-perfect faรงade.
The novel felt very soapyโsex, lies, greed, murder and a little voodoo to keep things spicy. That drama kept me rapt, despite the characters being not very likeable at all. And in true Pinborough style, the end packs a punch with surprises aplenty.
If youโre a fan of psychological thrillers, this one fits the bill as a dishy page-turner.
