Other Mrs. (Original)
Other Mrs. (Original) | Mary Kubica
"Kubica ratchets up tension and intrigue in The Other Mrs. Her salacious, thoroughly mysterious characters bear the qualities we all crave in a thriller--seductive, seemingly unknowable, and altogether unpredictable." --Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Widow Hypnotic and addictive and perfect for fans of You, The Other Mrs. is the twisty new psychological thriller from Mary Kubica, the blockbuster bestselling author of The Good Girl Sadie and Will Foust have only just moved their family from bustling Chicago to small-town Maine when their neighbor, Morgan Baines, is found dead in her home. The murder rocks their tiny coastal island, but no one is more shaken than Sadie, who is terrified by the thought of a killer in her very own backyard. But it's not just Morgan's death that has Sadie on edge. It's their eerie old home, with its decrepit decor and creepy attic, which they inherited from Will's sister after she died unexpectedly. It's Will's disturbed teenage niece Imogen, with her dark and threatening presence. And it's the troubling past that continues to wear at the seams of their family. As the eyes of suspicion turn toward the new family in town, Sadie is drawn deeper into the mystery of Morgan's death. But Sadie must be careful, for the more she discovers about Mrs. Baines, the more she begins to realize just how much she has to lose if the truth ever comes to light. "Brilliant! An utterly absorbing tale of deception and subterfuge. Kubica is a master of sleight of hand. Absolutely loved it!" --Liv Constantine, bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish and The Last Time I Saw You "In The Other Mrs., Mary Kubica weaves a labyrinth of deception and family secrets, each one more shocking than the last, with an ending that left me thunderstruck. If you have any doubts Mary Kubica is a master of the genre, this book will change your mind." --Samantha Downing, bestselling author of My Lovely Wife "THE OTHER MRS. is Mary Kubica's best book yet--which is saying a lot! I tore through the twisty, spine-tinglingly creepy pages." --Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of An Anonymous Girl "Brilliantly propulsive and engrossing, with characters you'll really care about and twists you won't see coming, THE OTHER MRS is that rare thing: a thriller with heart." --JP Delaney, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Before

The first 48% took me a couple weeks. The last 52% took me one day.
I knew there would be a twist (there always is), but I thought it was going to be something entirely different.
All of the characters are awful and I didn't feel like I was rooting for anyone. But for some reason, I kept picking this book back up to read a couple of pages here and there.
Because of how good the ending was, ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I absolutely loved the ending and was hoping it would make up for the slower mid-section. The slow-building leads to an unexpected twist that makes sense still leaves you surprised.

A twisty read that had me captivated from the very beginning. I loved the interwoven pov and trying to guess what was going on but as usual Mary Kubica took this story to places I did not anticipate. Another great read from this author.

kaysworld1 I take it you still haven't received mine yet? I did send it honestly and I sent tracking to the event organiser woman for both parcels. I feel so bad do you want me to send something else for you so you don't miss out? Xx 2y
Yuki_Onna @Kaysworld1 It's still not here, sadly. But don't worry, I'll ask Chelle for the tracking number first! Surely we can figure out what mess the delivery company has created...

@MaleficentBookDragon Chelle, would you please send me the tracking number of the parcel? Even if it says it was delivered successfully (which it isn't, at least not with me), once I have the tracking no., I can start an enquiry with the German Post where it was dropped.

MaleficentBookDragon @Yuki_Onna I just sent it to you. Let me know what you find out. 2y
Yuki_Onna @Kaysworld1 Please don't worry, dear! None of the issues with the German Post/DHL are your fault in any way and I don't mean to make you feel bad!!! 🧡
I thank you and I'm happy you are my match!!!
International swaps are so exciting - That's not the issue. You did everything right!!! The thing is the German Post/DHL - They are messing things up so often... Even parcels within Germany-I'll find out where your parcel is! 😉👍 I'll let you know!

I loved this book! When I first started reading the book I felt like I kind of knew what was going on, and I wasn‘t too far off. However, the book held me captive the entire time! I love books that change point of views, and this one didn‘t disappoint in that regard. The end is shocking, and a lot of information comes at you quickly and makes finishing the book a breeze! There are a lot of things happening in the book. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Not gonna lie…I wasn‘t really a fan of this one. For me it was uninteresting and predictable. I kept reading to see if there would be an unexpected twist, but I had already guessed how it would end. Essentially, Sadie and Will move their family for a fresh start. Soon after, a neighbor is dead. Lots of twists and turns follow, many red herrings…I just didn‘t find it believable and many of the red herrings felt like a waste of time.

I was bored for about 95% of this book. The main character was super unlikable. I figured it out at about 1/4 of the book, the ending was a little unexpected, but not enough to save this book. It was honestly just very boring and nobody was likable.

I wanted to like this one more than I did. I figured out the twist well before the reveal, so the ending was just meh for me. A woman and her husband move to care for a young family member after her mother committed suicide. Not long after the move, a woman on their block is brutally murdered. Multiple narrators add layers to the suspense

Total 5⭐️ read. I‘ve not read this author before but I guarantee I will read her again! This is about a family of four who inherits a house and custody of a 16 year old. The family sells and moves to their inheritance hoping to leave behind their “Issues” in Chicago. “Issues” doesn‘t begin to describe the what‘s happening in this story. So many twists. It had me guessing to the end. If you like these types of thrillers, this is a definite read.

Sadie and Will are new to town. One day a murder happens across the street. Evidence keeps piling up against Sadie, with time running out to prove her innocence. The biggest setbacks were a result of having too many irons in the fire. There‘s the bullied teenage son, the angry teenaged stranger, and of course, Will and Sadie themselves. The end result was messy. In other words, I‘d probably pick a thriller other than The Other Mrs.

A psychological thriller about a woman who moves to a Maine island with her family. She‘s a doctor and she and her husband and two sons leave behind a complicated history in Chicago. There were quite a few twists, but one of the major ones was evident pretty early on. It‘s still kept me interested, but it dragged a bit once I knew what was coming. There‘s still a good twist at the end though.

(A warning to readers: There are depictions of child abuse in the book that are upsetting.) There were quite a few twists and turns, but I think there were enough clues that kind of lead you to the conclusions before they came. I always feel that‘s a sign of a good writer and book. Yes, the story is a bit far-fetched but we are reading fiction. It‘s meant to be entertaining. I‘m willing to suspend some disbelief.

Sadie and her family have inherited a house and an orphaned niece on an island. They move into the house to get away from some issues. The niece is Gothic and doesn't want Sadie to her guardian. One night their neighbor is found murdered, and the island police suspect Sadie. How will she convince them that she didn't do it?
This was my second read by Mary Kubica. I liked this much more than The Good Girl. This read had more twists and turns.

Shortly after Sadie and Will Froust move their family to a small town, a woman turns up dead in her home. At first glance, the couple is distraught, but then why does a neighbor claim to have seen Sadie arguing with the victim?

This book keeps you entertained with every page turn, from “Mouse‘s” backstory to the Frousts‘ children. such a winner!

Admittedly, I did figure out twist but it took me awhile to get there. There‘s a second twist coming!

My spidey senses peaked early on when I picked up on a clue. I was correct; however, I certainly did not anticipate the path this one would take to get me there. (Note: I‘m not a fan on how suicide was discussed here, so there is that.

WorldsOkayestStepMom Thank you so much for the suicide warning! I wish more reviews mention things like that. 4y
marleed @WorldsOkayestStepMom My immediate family, like so many, has been impacted by suicide. The means was not as outlined in this book but if it had been, this would have been a trigger. I almost gave the book a blurb rather than a pick because of that but thought a note might be better. 4y
WorldsOkayestStepMom @marleed I'm so sorry for your loss. My family has been impacted by suicide as well, and sometimes it's so hard for me to take in media of any form that has a suicide. 4y

Sort of waffling between a so-so and a pick. Lots of red herrings and second guessing in this one, with a possible unreliable narrator. Got fast-paced and a little crazy near the end. Ultimately not sure how I felt about that ending, but makes me want to go back and re-read the whole thing again.
