The Other Mrs. by Mary Kubica 359 pages
"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.
But it’s not just Morgan’s death that has Sadie on edge. And as the eyes of suspicion turn toward the new family in town, Sadie is drawn deeper into the mystery of what really happened that dark and deadly night. 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." (summary from Goodreads)
I am very grateful that Mary Kubica keeps writing books because each time I read one, I enjoy it. Yes, it's another psychological thriller that I read this month. Like her other books, this book has an almost propulsive pacing, where the story starts and just takes off --- reading it is like running after something. The book isn't perfect -- it drags a little once in a while, and there are some disturbing elements that weren't quite 100% believable. However, I still found it to be an entertaining page-turner, which was all I was asking for.
