Fresh Fiction Review

The Hunting Wives
May Cobb

Reviewed by Evie Harris
Posted May 27, 2021

Women's Fiction Southern | Thriller Psychological

Sophie had all she wanted: a loving husband, a beautiful son, and a lovely home in a town she chose.  But, she is bored and feels like something is missing. That changed when she met Margot, a local socialite. Sophie found everything about Margot alluring and she became obsessed with her. Sophie was thrilled when Margot invited her to join her exclusive club. As it turned out, her relationship with Margot could cost Sophie all she held dear.

In THE HUNTING WIVES by May Cobb, readers are launched into a world of seduction, debauchery, excessive drinking, and worst of all: murder. Margot and her inner circle are all about excesses and loyalty to each other, but any other redeeming characteristics seem to be missing. Margot is clearly the glue that keeps them together, but why? Even Sophie was conflicted about her feelings and attraction towards Margot but didn't have the strength to walk away when her world began to spiral out of control. What was the secret to her magnetism?

THE HUNTING WIVES is a skillfully told, haunting, and memorable tale. From start to finish it is totally engrossing. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

SUMMARY

The Hunting Wives share more than target practice, martinis, and bad behavior in this novel of obsession, seduction, and murder.

Sophie O'Neill left behind an envy-inspiring career and the stressful, competitive life of big-city Chicago to settle down with her husband and young son in a small Texas town. It seems like the perfect life with a beautiful home in an idyllic rural community. But Sophie soon realizes that life is now too quiet, and she's feeling bored and restless.

Then she meets Margot Banks, an alluring socialite who is part of an elite clique secretly known as the Hunting Wives. Sophie finds herself completely drawn to Margot and swept into her mysterious world of late-night target practice and dangerous partying. As Sophie's curiosity gives way to full-blown obsession, she slips farther away from the safety of her family and deeper into this nest of vipers.

When the body of a teenage girl is discovered in the woods where the Hunting Wives meet, Sophie finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and her life spiraling out of control.
