Publisher's summary

Blake's dead. They say his wife killed him. If so...which one?

Polygamist Blake Nelson built a homestead on a hidden stretch of land - a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah - where he lived with his three wives:

  • Rachel, the first wife, obedient and doting to a fault, with a past she'd prefer to keep quiet.
  • Tina, the rebel wife, everything Rachel isn't, straight from rehab and the Vegas strip.
  • And Emily, the young wife, naïve and scared, estranged from her Catholic family.

The only thing that they had in common was Blake. Until all three are accused of his murder.

When Blake is found dead under the desert sun, all three wives become suspect - not only to the police, but to each other. As the investigation draws them closer, each wife must decide who can be trusted. With stories surfacing of a notorious cult tucked away in the hills, whispers flying about a fourth wife, and evidence that can't quite explain what had been keeping Blake busy, the three widows face a reckoning that might shatter all they know to be true.

What in the world?

This might be the strangest book I’ve ever read. I love a good psychological thriller but this one takes The cake. I don’t like multiple POV characters but it makes sense at the end I guess.

Meh

I tried to read this book twice and finally finished it. This is a slow burn mystery novel with a sorta underwhelming reveal. I found myself continually feeling bored while reading this. I can’t say it ever really “captured” me, but it was good enough. The writing itself was very good, but the plot was just too slow. I think this could have been condensed into a 3 hour book.

interesting story

I enjoyed the narrators, and liked that there was a different voice for each of the main three characters.
