Thank you to Penguin Random House and Berkley Publishing for the opportunity to participate in the blog tour for this book. I was sent a digital ARC download, but I decided to pick up a copy so I could read the physical book.
About The Book
The Hunting Wives share more than target practice, martinis, and bad behavior in this novel of obsession, seduction, and murder.
Sophie O’Neill left behind an envy-inspiring career and the stressful, competitive life of big-city Chicago to settle down with her husband and young son in a small Texas town. It seems like the perfect life with a beautiful home in an idyllic rural community. But Sophie soon realizes that life is now too quiet, and she’s feeling bored and restless.
Then she meets Margot Banks, an alluring socialite who is part of an elite clique secretly known as the Hunting Wives. Sophie finds herself completely drawn to Margot and swept into her mysterious world of late-night target practice and dangerous partying. As Sophie’s curiosity gives way to full-blown obsession, she slips farther away from the safety of her family and deeper into this nest of vipers.
When the body of a teenage girl is discovered in the woods where the Hunting Wives meet, Sophie finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and her life spiraling out of control.
My Thoughts
I liked the parts of the book where the author kept the narrator from the reader. I didn't know exactly who the narrator was in these parts and I found that added more of a mysterious element.
There is a really good plot twist in this book, right at the end. The author holds the reveal back until just the right time. I feel this book really shows the reader that just like you can't judge a book by it's cover, you can't always go with your first impression of people and a particular character (or characters) in a novel can have a way of surprising you.
My Rating: 4/5
