DESCRIPTION:
From bestselling indie thriller writer Natalie Barelli comes a new deliciously dark novel about a woman who married the man of her dreams, only for him to become her worst nightmare.Jodie always dreamed of being a housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr. Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house still reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence still looms over everyone and everything.
When Jodie learns Deborah became a recluse before death, she begins to suspect Roy was behind it. And the deeper she digs, the darker Roy's past appears―obsessive, controlling, unfaithful. Increasingly convinced he had something to do with Deborah's death, Jodie knows she should go to the police, but that would require revealing her own secret. A secret that could destroy her.
But Jodie won't be silenced. Because the truth about Roy is worse than she imagined―and now, trapped in a house built on lies, she must find a way out before she becomes the next perfect wife to vanish.
Jodie enters a marriage that may initially remind readers of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. But keep reading, because Natalie Barelli’s story soon proves to be something entirely different. From the beginning, Jodie is more than a little unsettled by the fact that her new husband, Roy, is still deeply in love with his deceased wife, Deborah, a woman whose death was ruled a suicide.
But as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that there is something much more sinister beneath the surface. Jodie becomes convinced that Roy was responsible for Deborah’s death, and she is determined to uncover the truth. She will go to extraordinary lengths to prove that her husband is a killer.
With secrets, suspicion, and an increasingly disturbing plot, The Housewife kept me questioning just who could be trusted. What begins as an uncomfortable marriage quickly turns into a dark and twisty psychological thriller that kept me guessing about what was really happening behind closed doors.
