"Sultry, salacious and utterly unpredictable....You'll devour it."--Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Home Before Dark

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.

Thrilling!!!!

Loved the book. Started off slow, and I couldn’t wait to hear what was going to happen next. Definitely kept me on edge! Love love loved this book

Lots of Drama

Like Desperate Housewives with murder. Lots of drama. Some of the characters are seriously stupid but it’s part of the story that highlights how someone can become over involved and get in too deep with bad consequences. Narrator was so good and the plot keeps unraveling until the very end!

The perfect summer soap

This is so twisty and melodramatic. Like the best soap opera you just can’t look away from.

Different than the show!

I read this after watching the show because people said it was different and it was! Not what I expected and still such a good story line! Less spicy then the show though

🥹

I enjoyed the book, binged it after watching the series on Netflix. The two are not the same, different story lines but overall the book kept me engaged. I rolled my eyes at how stupid the characters are but liked it!
Expected way more spice but would give it 🌶️. Planning to read more books by this author.
