Alice LaPlante’s first novel Turn of Mind was excellent, Circle of Wives not so much. There is so much about this book I disliked I don’t know where to begin. First of all, I did not like any of the characters – they were swallow and self-centered, even the good Doctor came off as an oaf.
There is nothing redeeming about this book, it was simply a boring story about a man who was unhappy in his marriage and proceeded to go out and marries two more women, none of the wives except for the first wife know about one another. Surprise the good doctor is found dead in a hotel room and foul play is suspected. Enter Samantha Adams the rookie detective assigned to the case and another totally unlikable character, she blunders her way through this book like a bull in a china cabinet.
I am still trying to figure out how a successful reconstructive surgeon had time for three wives, one of which he had to report home to every morning at 5:00am.
All and all not an enjoyable read.
