4.5 stars.
From start to finish this thriller kept me on my toes. I had theories galore and they all were incorrect. I would highly recommend this if you like thrillers and are tired of reading the same predictable plots. I questioned not only the characters sanity and truthfulness but also my own. One of the best thrillers I have read to date.

This is a story of a somewhat normal family. After all what is totally normal.
The mother is hardworking, a doctor. The father, Will, teaches a class part time and is a stay at home dad. There are two children, Otto, 14 and Tate, 7 years old. The family has mad a big move, living now on one of the islands of Maine.
They moved there after the death of Will's sister, Alice. She has bequeathed the house to them and also the guardianship of her 16 year old daughter Imogen.
Imogen was the one who found her mother, hanging from the attic rafters. She is not happy having her home invaded by strangers. She has a volatile relationship with Sadie.
Everything may have worked out for this family, except people around them start dying. The police are sure Sadie must be behind the murder of a neighbor. However, Sadie doesn't ever remember meeting the neighbor. There is another neighbor that says he saw the twin arguing in the street.
This is a story of cruel manipulation by a supposed loved one against someone with mental illness. The illness is DID or dissociative identity disorder.
Well written. Surprising storyline, strong characters. Important information about DID.

Mary Kubica always write FANTASTIC thrillers!! I just finished The Other Mrs. and I’ve had my socks knocked off!! I went into the novel completely blind because Mary Kubica is such a master storyteller that I never want any sort of spoiler! I will say that it took me a minute to get into this novel, but once I did...wowzer!!! The storyline was well crafted with absolutely perfect timing. In true Mary Kubica fashion, the twist and turns were plentiful and unexpected—love that! The Other Mrs. is a 5 star read that will most definitely satisfy any domestic thriller fan! I am busting at the seams for everyone to read this book so I can discuss it lol!!! I am already looking forward to reading Mary’s next novel!

OH MY GOSH!! This book was so good! @marykubica has a way of sucking a reader in and keeping the pages turning! The ending totally caught me off guard in the best way!! Absolutely bloody fantastic!!! Please rush out to get this in February 2020! Huge shout out to @netgalley and @parkrowbooks (and @harlequinbooks ) for this suspenseful #arc!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Park Row for the advanced copy of this book! Mary Kubica has become my new favorite author since her debut book. I have read everything she’s written as soon as it comes out, so when I saw this I was excited to get to read it for an honest review! I LOVED it!! The storyline was great and the twists and turns had my jaw drop a few times! Definitely a worthy read that will be hard to put down! Thank you again!!

This was such a great psychological thriller and I literally couldn’t put it down. I read this book in two nights because I couldn’t go long without knowing what was going to happen. Sadie Froust moves with her husband and two sons to tiny town in Maine because her husband’s sister had past away. They decide to let their niece live with them in the house she grew up in to help her niece cope with the loss of her mom. Their niece is Imogen has a dark presence about her so when a neighbor next door is murdered, Sadie can’t help but think about Imogen. This book is filled with so many secrets that intertwine the deeper you get into the story. And the ending is a shocker! I did NOT see it coming which made me love this book.

WOW! This book was full of twists and you never knew who to trust. Told from multiple perspectives about a murder on a small island, the reader is pulled into the drama and fear of it all. The main narrator, Sadie, has just recently relocated with her family to a small island off the coast of Maine, only reachable by ferry. She and her husband, Will, bring their two sons to live in Will’s late sister’s home and have been given custody of the teen daughter, Imogen. While not the happiest scenario, the family came hoping for a fresh start. Things quickly devolve as the family members each start to divulge their various secrets and sins to the reader. The book deals with a lot of tough topics like mental health, suicide, abuse, and murder, but it’s a thrilling read! It starts off a little confusing at first as it jumps between narrators, but things speed up and all start to fall into place as the mystery all starts to come together. I especially liked the ending and the author’s note, but I won’t ruin it for you.. you just have to read it yourself.

<b>”I am in the business of saving lives, not taking them. But there are exceptions to every rule.”</b>

First off- Mary is one of my favorite go-to authors when I’m in need of a thriller/mystery psychological read.

She knows just how to keep you on your toes without giving too much away. Just barely dangling the carrot right in front of your nose until the perfect moment.

I couldn’t wait to get to that point because I knew in true Kubica fashion she was going to screw with my head and she did! <I>Twice.</I>

You have major doubts about, well all really, of the characters right from the very get go. Something’s off. Eerie. Everyone’s looking at the other like they know something one doesn’t. But who is really to blame?

<b>”Someone is lying. But I don’t know who.”</b>

With an unsolved murder in the neighborhood and the creepy girl down the hall, what’s to be afraid of?

In the end, justice never looked so satisfying.

*Note: review will be posted to After the Pages book blog closer to publication date.

This book was AMAZING. I could barely put it down. It was such a twisted storyline and I found that I thought I knew what was really going on....but then bam...nope! The character development was spot on, you develop the exact feelings for each character that the author wants you to. You dislike Imogen the niece who comes with the inherited house, you suspect certain culprits for happenings in the novel....but again nope.
When I love a book this much I don’t like to give away any details I just hope that my love and passion for the book makes people want to pick it up.

Thank you to the to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC for an honest review.

Mary Kubica has a way with me. She just does. From her writing to her twists to her intricately woven POV's, I guess by now I am just bias when it comes to her. I love her books. I haven't met one that I did not enjoy. That's a fact! So with me saying that, you can take what you want from my review LOL!

The downside of The Other Mrs. was that I really didn’t connect with Sadie and the character role that she played. And oh how I wish I would have, especially once the ending came around. I wish I could have attached to her more than what I did because I think the book would have had a completely different effect on me. The first part of the book I found her to be boring but yet again (I am bias, remember?) Mary Kubica's writing kept my attention the entire way through. I did enjoy the over-all tone and the POV's of Camille and Mouse and the way they spoke in their chapters though. I found it to be very engaging.

There is a lot going on in this book. A lot. A lot of characters, a lot of things happening on each page that you have to actually slow down, read, and retain. But with the book doing this, it will also make you think you know what’s gonna happen and then something totally unexpected happens. Which is my kind of book! I love the ole bait and switch scenarios. The Other Mrs. was a well crafted and well written mystery thriller with a quick-paced plot and very engaging and complex characters.

AMAZING!!!!!!! I literally cannot day enough amazing things about Mary Kubica. I honestly do not know how she does it. This story was perfection. It kept you guessing the whole way and the ending was everything I wanted it to be!

Having read many psychological thrillers I have become familiar with the patterns most books follow. I was unprepared for the number of twists this novel packs in and the complexity of the many characters. I found the setting and some of the characters a bit exaggerated but it didn't take away from the plot line. I think you'll be happy you read through to the end of this book! Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin for providing an ARC so I could enjoy it sooner than later!

All I can say is wow! Mary Kubica nailed it. The storyline was great, and I did not see the end coming at all. When you can get to almost the end of a book and not have figured out where it was going ahead of time - that’s a great twist! Highly recommend

I would describe The Other Mrs as an ideal popcorn thriller - a story you can sit with a bucket of popcorn and read. Or watch (yes, Netflix made a film deal for The Other Mrs)! It's entertaining, not necessarily memorable, but given a particular edge as it ventures into the depths of mental illness and manipulation. The pacing is perfect for fans of The Perfect Son; the way you're kept in the dark while the author drops clever clues that help you figure out the final twist. This was definitely packed with twists - they’re great, but you’ve read them before, if you aren't new to the genre.

Things I loved:
1. The final confrontation. i just love a juicy battle between good and evil towards the end of a domestic thriller.
2. The POV of the six-year-old: she's the one character that grabbed me by the throat and cut me into million pieces until she stopped telling her story. The child abuse scenes were heart-wrenching. She was so convincing I hoped the author hadn't cut her narration off early on.

When it comes to other characters, expect a slew of unlikable characters. Especially the mother (also protagonist). I wanted to root for her but something just felt...off. Until her conduct towards her children (blaming her own son for being bullied, accusing him of murder (!?), etc.) proved me right.

However, this tends to play a part in reminding us that there are heartless, manipulative people out there who'll take advantage of your mental illness, and there's also the dreadful fact that mental illness destroys families in the worst ways possible. The author also draws inspiration from her personal experience, which I'm all for. I love when authors, in a way, tend to write about/for themselves. I applaud that.

“The Other Mrs” is a tense psychological thriller that will definitely keep your interest right to the last page. The story is told through alternating narrators, which ratchets up the suspense as more and more pieces fall into place, building to an unexpected conclusion. Nicely done!
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through @NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Great thriller! Even when you think you have figured out the twist, there is so much more to it than you imagine. Kubica is great at creating interesting character but she is brilliant at plotting. Great domestic drama that you will want to read in one sitting!

The Other Mrs is a wonderful twisty thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Sadie and Will have moved to a tiny island in Maine from Chicago following the death of Will’s sister. They inherited the house and custody of the sister’s teenage daughter. Although Sadie didn’t want to move she realized that they needed a fresh start after Will’s affair.

Not long after their move one of their neighbors is found murdered in her home just down the street from them. What comes next is an unraveling of Sadie as she tries to piece together what happened before the police pin the murder on her.

Love Mary Kubica in general, and this one kept me guessing. I thought I had everything figured out, but was hit like a ton of bricks with all of the twists at the end! The island setting in Maine is almost a character itself in this twisted novel of suspense.

THE OTHER MRS. is a hard to put down mystery with so many twists that I never saw coming!

Sadie and Will have just moved to a tiny island in Maine from Chicago. They have their two sons with them and due to unforeseen circumstances, they inherit Will’s niece when his sister passes away. They also inherit her house. Will tells Sadie that this will be a fresh start after their lives have recently had some troubling moments.

When their new neighbor, Morgan Baines, is found murdered in her home, Sadie adds another check mark to her growing list of reasons on why they shouldn’t have upheaved their lives. While they inadvertently get pulled into the mystery of Morgan’s death, more secrets unravel and it’s apparent that one, two, or all of Sadie’s family may be in grave danger.

Mary Kubica is a brilliant writer who really delves deep into her characters to make them fully developed. She also has a way of making the reader constantly want to read more at the end of the chapter. I was hooked from the beginning, and after the 75% mark, actually gasped at the way revelations were revealed. Then it happened again, and again. This is the kind of book I did not want to end because I was so entertained. Highly recommended.

Thanks to NetGalley, Mary Kubica, and Park Row for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A great, twisty, domestic thriller! I had a great time with this book. I feel like pages before it happened I figured out what was about to happen, but it didn’t bother me. I liked the ending. I liked the characters and cared about them. Overall a very solid thriller from an author I haven’t read before!
