"Thrilling and absolutely entertaining! THIS is how you write an original main character!" ― Iliana Xander, author of Love, Mom

"A taut, twisty triumph! Natalie Barelli’s The Housewife hooked me from the very first page. Jodie’s voice is irresistible―fresh, flawed, determined―and Barelli uses it to pull you straight into a beguiling Beverly Hills fairy tale that curdles into something much darker and far more delicious.

The pacing is fantastic: every chapter tightens the tension, every reveal hits with precision. I devoured this book in a single sitting, racing through the red flags, whispered secrets, and the chilling legacy of the late wife who still haunts the halls. As Jodie digs into Roy’s polished façade, the suspense builds to a pitch-perfect fever―layered, breathless, and utterly propulsive. And just when you think you know where it’s going, the story pivots with a twist that lands beautifully.

Sharp, stylish, and utterly compulsive, The Housewife is the kind of psychological suspense I love most: a perfect cocktail of voice, velocity, and vertigo-inducing tension. An absolute must-read." ― Kaira Rouda, USA Today bestselling author of We Were Never Friends

"Barelli delivers a razor-sharp thriller that redefines the 'unreliable narrator.' You’ll be breathless as Jodie maneuvers through a world of high-society harpies and a mystery that will make you rethink every cup of tea you’re served." ― Daniel G. Miller, USA Today bestselling author of The Orphanage by the Lake and The Red Letter
