THE SILENT WIFE (A.S.A. Harrison) - February 15/14

I definitely enjoyed this book, although I did think that Harrison occasionally bogs the narrative down with overly descriptive passages, including long, drawn-out stretches devoted to the main character's psychotherapy. But the characters are extremely well defined and there is an underlying current of suspense here, though I find it odd that the book divulges his murder right on the back cover even though it doesn't happen until more than 200 pages in! I also thought it was interesting that Jodi had remembered being molested by her older brother, but I felt it was a little weird that there wasn't a confrontation towards the end. *** out of ****
