Jodie has always dreamed of being the perfect housewife. She gets her wish when she marries Dr. Roy Davies, a renowned psychiatrist with a posh Beverly Hills home. Jodie moves right in, but the neighborhood wives are watching her with a cautious eye. She sure isn’t Deborah, Roy’s first wife, who decided to kill herself by shooting herself in the head.

Oops.

Jodie has some secrets.

As details about Deborah’s death begin to surface, along with the weird, very strange behavior of the housemaid, Jodie starts questioning everything. Soon she’s digging into Roy’s locked office and wondering why there are so few details surrounding Deborah’s death.

I won’t say any more because I don’t want to give anything away, but The Housewife is one of those dishy reads that makes you put the chores on hold. There’s deception, lies, plenty of suspicious behavior, and a nice twist that keeps you on your toes.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.
