Marcie Maddox is worried. There is a new, hot second wife in the neighborhood and she is sure that her husband, Jason, has his eyes on her. When Jason's boss, William Radford showed up with the incredibly hot, incredibly young, Keisha, after a trip to Europe after his first wife's death, Marcie didn't feel threatened. She was once the hot, young, second wife, but she has earned her place among Savannah's wealthy wives. Marcie finds herself increasingly jealous of Jason's attention to the attractive Keisha. Until one day Keisha "rescues" her from a volunteering session and she realizes that she had absolutely no reason to be jealous. But then somebody tries to kill Keisha's husband and Marcie is a suspect. She realizes that there is a very real risk that her world will come crashing down and she will be forced back to the trailer park from which she came. Will she be able to prove that she didn't try to kill William Radford?
Dead to Her was not exactly what I expected. At first, I felt bad for Marcie. She was desperately trying to fit in with the Savannah elite and I think most of us can relate to what it feels like to try to fit in. Even after she started hanging out with Keisha, I felt bad for her. Because she seemed like the innocent party in the situation. And at first, I couldn't figure out Keisha's spin, but then I started to feel bad for her, too. Neither of them had completely altruistic reasons for marrying their husbands, but, they got caught up in this world run by powerful men and they were just along for the ride. I will warn you that there are some really explicit sex scenes in this book and I know that isn't everybody's cup of tea. I was surprised by the big reveal at the end, it was not what I was expecting. -CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.
Bottom Line - Dead to Her is a great psychological thriller with characters that are generally horrible people. If you can get past that fact, you will find yourself with a great read.
