Bailey Browne and Logan Abbott meet while vacationing on an
exotic island. Bailey has just lost her mother and is doing
what she can to heal from the loss. Logan has losses of his
own, as well. They are quickly drawn to each other and fall
deeply in love. When they finally leave their island
paradise, it is as husband and wife.
Bailey cannot believe that she finally has a chance of
getting her long dreamed of fairytale ending. Logan is
everything she ever wanted in a man and more. He takes her
home to Abbott Farms, a sprawling country home set on acres
of land as far as the eye can see just outside of Wholesome,
Louisiana. Their news is met with a mixture of caution and
enthusiasm from the horse trainers and a bit of resentment
from Logan's sister Raine.
Before long, Bailey learns of women that have gone missing
over the past few years in the area. Logan's first wife,
True, might or might not be one of them because she is
rumored to have simply left him. As Bailey digs deeper into
these mysteries, she finds that the little town of Wholesome
may not be so aptly named. In addition, she may have just
been brought into the middle of a viper's nest as the newest
member of the Abbott family.
THE FIRST WIFE offers readers everything they could possibly
want in a romantic suspense novel. There is plenty of
romance to be enjoyed along with just the right amount of
creepiness as the disappearances of the women are linked to
the same perpetrator. As always, Erica Spindler takes you by
the hand and pulls you relentlessly through her story.
I am a huge fan of Ms. Spindler's work and can safely say
that THE FIRST WIFE does not disappoint. She delivers what
fans have come to expect from her. I was enthralled from the
first page and was compelled to continue reading until I
knew how it all turned out. In addition, the final reveal is
a total surprise because throughout there has been no
shortage of suspects. Just when you think you have figured
it all out, you discover that you could not have been more
wrong.
If you are a fan of Erica Spindler, THE FIRST WIFE is not to
be missed. On the other hand, if you are not familiar with her
work, this is a great time to get acquainted with her. You
will be happy that you did!
As a child, Bailey Browne dreamed of a knight in shining
armor swooping in to rescue her and her mother. As she grows
older, those dreams transform, becoming ones of a mysterious
stranger who will sweep her off her feet and whisk her away
from her ordinary existence. Then, suddenly, there he is.
Despite the ten year difference in their ages, her working
class upbringing and his of privilege, Logan Abbott and
Bailey fall deeply in love. Marriage quickly follows.
But when Logan brings her home to his horse farm in
Louisiana, a magnificent estate on ninety wooded acres, her
dreams of happily-ever-after begin to unravel. A tragic
family history she knew nothing about surfaces, plus
whisperings about the disappearance of his first wife, True,
and rumors about the women from the area who have gone
missing—and when another woman disappears, all signs point
to her husband's involvement.
At first Bailey ignores the whispers, even circumstantial
evidence against Logan mounts. But finally, Bailey must make
a choice: believe what everyone says—or bet her life on the
man she loves, but is realizing she hardly knows.
From the author of Justice for Sara, Erica Spindler's The
First Wife is a thrilling new novel that will have you
gasping on every page.
