The Golden Cage

 The Golden Cage by Läckberg, Camilla   335 pages

Faye is 34 and a devoted wife and mother, leading a lavish life in Stockholm with her husband, Jack, a successful entrepreneur. However, everything unravels when she catches Jack in bed with his business partner, Ylva. Now, angry and humiliated and left financially destitute thanks to the pre-nup she signed (even though she was the mastermind behind Jack's company), Faye is determined to plan a comeuppance for Jack. Told in alternating current-day and flashbacks, this is a story about female ingenuity and determination, with a flavor of psychological suspense.

I have not read anything by this author before, but now will be delving into her back catalog because I enjoyed this book so much. I appreciated the character development and taut pacing of the story, as well as the darker elements of this story.  It's clear that Faye has a background steeped in trauma, but it's not clear whether or not she's psychologically sound. So, I liked that the story kept me a bit off balance.
