A Reliable Wife


I am way behind in updating the blog. trying to remember this book is proving difficult, let's see what I can come up with...

I think I remember that this book tried to be more than it was. It was a bit pretentious, but it did have it's moments. We had a promising storyline about an arranged marriage that wasn't what it seemed, but by the end it had devolved into a ridiculous murder plot that lacked believability. If I remember correctly, there was also a bit about a lost love and a crazy-expensive Italian house in the middle of Wisconsin (or Minnesota?). Regardless, the back of the book sounded promising, but it delved into silly by the end. Not completely unenjoyable, but not a highlight of the year.
