Has a group of men conspired to murder each other's wives - figuring their perfect alibis will save them? That is what Beth Kemp starts to suspect, but is she losing her mind? Her husband says he fears so...
I'll give this marriage one more try, Beth Kemp thinks. She is a successful crime writer in New York City, who regrets that tension has crept into her relationship with her husband, Brad. He too is a writer who, after early success, finds his career fading.
Brad urges that a move to the country would make them happy again - and safe, especially Beth, to avoid the city's stress that triggers her severe asthma attacks. Beth wavers, until her close friend is murdered and the friend's husband has a perfect alibi. She finally accepts that the city with its surging crime has become too hard for her.
The Kemps move to beautiful Sheffield, Connecticut, so perfect it seems too good to be true. It is. When one new friend cries in fear about her husband, and another has a bruise under her eye, Brad tells Beth that she's overimagining. But when she hears of another wife's unsolved murder and yet another friend dies mysteriously, Beth suspects the husbands of covering for each other. Brad tells her she's getting crazy, paranoid.
Then Beth stumbles onto the most devastating shock of all, one she never imagined...
Read what everyone’s saying about The Wife List:
"What a wild ride!! This is the best psychological thriller I've read all year. The twists are nonstop with no lulls, and the end still has me reeling. I seriously could not put this down and kept reading through the night. Wowza, this is a 5 star read!!" Sean Talbot Reviews
"THE QUEEN of Psychological Thrillers has done it again! This had me guessing well into the night, with truly believable characters that made it excruciatingly difficult to know who to trust and who to not! It was impossible to stop reading until the very end! I fell in love with the main character Beth, and her sexy detective friend, Jay. If you love fast paced domestic thrillers with a kick butt ending, then grab this excellent book. It definitely won’t disappoint!!" Melissa Schranz Reviews
"J. A. Schneider is one of my favorite writers, however, this is the absolute BEST book yet...of course I say that every time she releases a new book!!! I honestly sat down Sunday mid-morning and didn't move until I read the last word Sunday night!! This book is a real showstopper!!!! I thought I had it all figured out... until I didn't!!!! Not the ending I expected! CRAZY AWESOME!!!!!!!! Do yourself a favor, escape and lose yourself in this book! You won't be sorry!!!!!!!!!!" Goodreads reviewer
"I'm still reeling from that ending. Never read anything like it. And that was after jaw-dropping twist after jaw-dropping twist. This thriller is a true stunner that I couldn't read fast enough. Drop everything. Read it. Then read it AGAIN to see the hidden clues, and the plot as intricate as a Swiss clock. The end left me gasping." Goodreads reviewer
