Dear Wife by Kimberly BelleRead about another entry on the list.
It is a truth of life that no one from the outside knows what happens within a marriage, and Kimberly Bell explores that in this chilling novel. Beth Murphy is on the run, fleeingfrom her abusive husband. Several hundred miles away, Sabine Hardison has gone missing, her car found abandoned. The book is told from the alternating points of view of Beth, Sabine’s husband Jeffrey, and the detective investigating Sabine’s disappearance. Did Jeffrey kill Sabine? And how is her disappearance connected to Beth? Belle does a masterful job moving the story along at a heart-pounding pace right up the very surprising end.

Millicent and her husband, the narrator who is never named, have been married for fifteen years and live in an upscale suburban neighborhood outside of Orlando. Their marriage has common stressors – money problems, stagnating careers, caring for their children. But their solution to relieving that stress is anything but common. As the book unfolds, however, it becomes clear that the narrator might not be as willing a participant as originally thought. How far would you go to keep your spouse happy?
