I was instantly gripped by The Good Wife. This proved to be a riveting thriller/courtroom drama that I could not get enough of!
Cassie and Theo have been married for two years and have an 18-month-old daughter. They appear to be the perfect couple. Theo is a former rock star who enjoys being home with their daughter and giving the occasional guitar lesson. Cassie is a corporate attorney who has just made partner at her law firm. A knock on their front door changes everything. The police are there and inform them that a woman’s body has been found in a dumpster outside of his music studio.
The woman turns out to be Elise, described as being a young nanny and yet it is later revealed that she and Cassie went to high school together. Theo and Elsie met at the park where he takes his daughter and Elsie takes the twins she looks after. After recognizing Theo, she inquiries about taking lessons from him.
When Theo is arrested for Elise’s murder, Cassie must question if her husband is guilty? Is he telling her the truth? Is he hiding anything from her? When Theo asks Cassie to defend him in court, she agrees.
Things get juicy, tension mounts and I could not put this book down! I loved the drama and how it played out. The secrets, the lies, the not so nice mother-in-law, all made for interesting reading. The author tells the story in “before” and “after” sections as we are given Cassie’s and Theo’s POVs. Very nicely done.
This was a captivating page turner which made this reader happy. It was fast paced, tense, and so very enjoyable. I can’t wait to read what Kane writes next!
