Summary: Sometimes, enough is enough…
Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all of her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighborly advice. Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction.
Or at least, she did.
These days, Debbie's life seems to be spiraling out of control. She just lost her job. Something strange is happening with her teenage daughters. And her husband is keeping secrets, according to the tracking app she installed on his phone. Now, Debbie's done being the bigger person. She's done being reasonable and practical. It's time to take her own advice.
And now it's time for payback against all the people in her life who deserve it the most.
Review: Another really good thriller by Freida McFadden! I've also liked The Tenant and The Housemaid (links to my reviews).
I devoured this book in one day; it was the perfect book at just the right time. This one has some super good twists at the end that I did not see coming. I thought I had it all figured out and then BAM! Nope, I had it wrong. I love it when that happens.
Like all good thrillers, this one has a number of characters who could be shady and underhanded, plot twists that keep the reader guessing, and parts that made me smile. McFadden does a great job of pulling the reader in quickly, creating characters that I like, and setting scenes that aren't creepy, but that make me feel uneasy.
If you liked McFadden's The Tenant, you'll enjoy this one, too.
Challenges for which this counts:
- Alphabet (Title)--D
- Cover Lover--an alliterative title
