Tara Taylor Quinn is an author who is not afraid to tackle tough subjects in her books. The fact that she has used her novels to bring issues such as white supremacy, rape, and now bigotry to my attention in a way that highlights each subject without preaching political agendas continues to draw me to her novels. Her latest book, THE FIRST WIFE, is no exception. She takes a delicate situation and keeps readers attention without minimizing the seriousness of the subject matter.

Jane Hamilton, whose ex-husband James is being accused of murdering his second wife, is finding out that not only was he re-married, but he had married Lee Anne while still married to Jane. Now Lee Ann was dead from having fallen off a cliff, or had she?

Jane's marriage to James had affected her in a variety of ways, including how she viewed her sexuality. When her best friend Brad tries to show her that she is still a strong and vital woman by having sex with her, things change in more ways than one. Suddenly, Jane is having to face her past and see that James wasn't the person she believed him to be, and Brad could be more than a friend.

As you start to read THE FIRST WIFE be prepared to be drawn into the story, and be willing to set life aside to read from it start to finish. I'm looking forward to The 2nd Lie.
