In The Wife’s House we meet a woman who has recently been widowed, before her husband died he bought her a dream house which was a house built in the side of a cliff in Big Sur and made of glass. Strange things start happening to her, a drone hovering near her, watching her. Notes, texts it was getting quite surreal for her. Who is sending these messages and who is spying on her? Do they know her secrets?
I thought this was a good book, the world building was fantastic, I could imagine everything from the house to the beach and town very well and the picture in my mind made it all so beautiful.
The first half of the book was character and world building and it was very slow to get started but once we got past that it was a complete rollercoaster.
I found myself suspicious of everyone and not knowing how the book was going to end, I was on the edge of my seat.
The ending, BOOM I was not expecting that! I am so glad I stuck with it because it ended up surpassing my expectations. It was brilliant.
