Product Information

Once Bea had decided Blanche needed to die as well, she started concocting her plan, inviting Tripp along for the purpose of framing him for it. Unfortunately, Eddie had showed up, which she had not anticipated. Rain has been pouring down all morning, making my drive from Center Point out here to Mountain Brook a nightmare, soaking the hem of my jeans as I get out of the car in the Reeds’ driveway, making my sneakers squelch on the marble floors of the foyer. He owns a gorgeous house, he is smart and funny and (most importantly), his wife died in a boating accident, thus allowing Jane to swoop in and snap up that place by his side.

This is an enjoyable thriller that you will fly through. The writing flows well and keeps you pondering what the next twist will be.

The story starts with twenty three year old Jane walking a dog in the pouring rain. Jane, a perpetual foster child until she aged out of the system, used to surviving by her wits, thievery, and lying. Her latest job is walking dogs in the rich neighborhood of Thornfield Estates and she's barely making ends meet by stealing from her employers, taking things that they'll never know are missing. Then Jane has a literal "run in" with rich, handsome, eligible widower, Eddie Rochester. One of the Most Anticipated Books of 2021 : CNN • Newsweek • Vulture • PopSugar • Parade • BuzzFeed • E!Online • TimeOut • Woman's Day • Goodreads • She Reads • Good Housekeeping • CrimeReads • Frolic • Hello! • Mystery and Suspense At about this point the story really starts to escalate, we find out Jane’s secret and others which will have you pondering, could this really happen???? Is Eddie who he claims to be?? Are Jane and Eddie really in love? What really happened that night at the lake??

and speaking of that attic, i get the justification for why there’s a bed in the panic room (wakka chikka wakka chikka), but there’s a shower in the panic room, too? there’s such a big deal made of bea thumping the bed on the floor to try to get jane’s attention, but would no one hear the pipes and water?Richard informs Jane that Eddie had updated his will prior to his death. Jane now owns all of his assets as well as Southern Manors. Epilogue it's a surprisingly fun and twisty bit of domestic suspense; there's plenty that stays true to the original, with little references dropped throughout, but jane is a lot more modern, a lot less willing to endure her station in life—coming up in the foster care system has taught her that in this world, you gotta take what you can get and keep moving. Set in the deep south of America, Birmingham, Alabama, the intense heat of the setting skilfully adds to the intensity of the story. This is fresh, contemporary crime fiction with dark humour. For example I loved that Jane in The Wife Upstairs is now a dog walker and Adele a puppy. This is an entertaining novel full of twists – but at times I did feel that some of the twists were a tad unnecessary.
