Review: The Silent Wife by Kerry Fisher

About the Book:

In this heart-wrenching, emotionally gripping USA Today bestseller, a woman with a seemingly perfect life finds a mysterious letter that reveals dark secrets from the past that threaten to destroy her family.

Lara’s life looks perfect on the surface—gorgeous doting husband, Massimo; sweet little son, Sandro; and the perfect home. But Lara knows something about Massimo. Something she can’t tell anyone else, or everything he has worked so hard for will be destroyed: his job, their reputation, their son. This secret is keeping Lara a prisoner in her marriage.

Maggie is married to Massimo’s brother, Nico, and lives with him and her troubled stepdaughter. She knows all of Nico’s darkest secrets—or so she thinks. Then one day she discovers a letter in the attic that reveals a shocking secret about Nico’s first wife. Will Maggie set the record straight or keep silent to protect those she loves?

For a family held together by lies, the truth will come at a devastating price.

My Thoughts:

The Silent Wife was an entertaining read that I started and finished in one day. It's contemporary fiction, chock full of family drama and riddled with secrets. The only downside was that the review quote on the cover had me anticipating a story with a big twist, but that didn't happen. I did enjoy how the conflict continued to build until it reached its peak, as well as how everything played out in the aftermath, but was it surprising or shocking? No. In the end, even though the story was predictable, it was still a satisfying read. Everyone's reading experience is different, which means there's a chance the story will be less predictable for you. Only way to find out is to give it a shot!
