Welcome to my stop on the Dead to Her blog tour sponsored by TLC Book Tours! Thanks to TLC for the invitation!
My Thoughts:
Dead to Her is my first book from author, Sarah Pinborough, and what a wild ride. It’s all about being a second wife to a man who has cheated before. Marcie is the “cheatee,” so she has an idea about her husband, Jason.
Marcie and Jason had an illicit affair to start their relationship that now involves yacht clubs and lush verandahs in Savannah, Georgia. It’s been challenging for Marcie to keep Jason invested in their relationship.
Jason’s boss then brings home a “new” second wife all the way from London, and Jason appears to be attracted to her, and she to him, all while Marcie is watching.
And Marcie’s not one to be taken, so she’s going to act before she loses all she’s worked for.
Dead to Her is a drama-filled, juicy page-turner. It made my mind spin. I loved the Savannah setting. It added a richness to the story. There’s a ton of unlikability here, so be warned. The characters are rich and pompous at times. There are also some twists and turns I can see working for some and not for others.
Overall, I found it highly entertaining, so it paid off for me!
I received a gifted book. All opinions are my own.

I always wonder about this subject- if he/she cheated once, what’s to stop them from cheating again? Other than a vindictive partner, that is, lol

Same here, Jacquie, and it was tantalizing how Pinborough really got inside the head of the second wife. She did a wonderful job with it!

Wonderful review! I do think I would enjoy this but cheaters are so inconsiderate. They think only of themselves so these characters are not going to be completely likeable.
