Publisher's Weekly Review

This soapy domestic suspense novel from Pinborough (Cross Her Heart) roils with passion, rancor, and greed wrapped in Southern politesse. As the second wife of Savannah, Ga., attorney Jason Maddox, 34-year-old Marcie is the youngest, most attractive woman in the couple's wealthy social circle--until Jason's widowed boss, William Radford, returns from London with a gorgeous bride, 22-year-old Keisha, a former cocktail waitress. Marcie loathes the way her husband ogles Keisha, but agrees to befriend the young woman--ostensibly to manipulate Keisha into encouraging William's retirement, thus rendering Jason senior partner, but also to monitor her competition. The relationship between Marcie and Keisha takes an unexpected turn as their respective stories unfold via an alternating third-person narrative. Tension increases in tandem with Marcie's suspicion and paranoia; meanwhile, Keisha's sanity shreds as William's domineering nature emerges. Pinbrough's intricately woven mystery will please fans of B.A. Paris and Paula Hawkins. Agent: Grainne Fox, Fletcher & Co. (Feb.)

Library Journal Review

In steamy Savannah, Marcie Maddox works hard to keep up classy appearances and keep husband Jason interested. She's the hot new second wife of their oh-so-rich-and-Anglo set--until Jason's boss comes back from a London business trip with a follow-up spouse who's gorgeous, seductive, and black. Swiftly, Keisha takes over Marcie's role. Now that's revenge-worthy. From the author of the New York Times best-selling Behind Her Eyes; with a 150,000-copy first printing.
