The First Wife

The First Wife by Erica Spindler digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

As a child, Bailey Browne dreamed of a knight in shining armor swooping in to rescue her and her mother. As she grows older, those dreams transform, becoming ones of a mysterious stranger who will sweep her off her feet and whisk her away from her ordinary existence. Then, suddenly, there he is. Despite the ten year difference in their ages, her working class upbringing and his of privilege, Logan Abbott and Bailey fall deeply in love. Marriage quickly follows.

But when Logan brings her home to his horse farm in Louisiana, a magnificent estate on ninety wooded acres, her dreams of happily-ever-after begin to unravel. A tragic family history she knew nothing about surfaces, plus whisperings about the disappearance of his first wife, True, and rumors about the women from the area who have gone missing—and when another woman disappears, all signs point to her husband's involvement.

At first Bailey ignores the whispers, even circumstantial evidence against Logan mounts. But finally, Bailey must make a choice: believe what everyone says—or bet her life on the man she loves, but is realizing she hardly knows.
From the author of Justice for Sara, Erica Spindler's The First Wife is a thrilling new novel that will have you gasping on every page.

“Not my cup of tea. I think the plot was quite creative and pretty well thought out, but the writing felt really 'forced', with too much fluff and lacked a flow. Our protagonist, Bailey, was honestly quite irritating and also could not seem to make up her mind. One moment, she loves her husband and wants him to stay out of jail, convinced he's not a murderer. The next, she's accusing him of being a serial killer. Girl, make up your mind. Also, why was she making love to him right after she's accusing him of murder? Those sections were insane to read through.”
“3.5 stars. Kept me interested but I guessed the Gillian fairly early on.”
