Dr John Taylor, renowned plastic surgeon, is found dead in a
hotel room and small town Detective Samantha
Adams gets put on the case. What seems to be an open and shut case, until
it is discovered that he has three wives in three cities. Detective Samantha Adams finds herself having
to go through a web of lies and marital problems.
My Review:
A Circle of Wives is told from the point of view of four
main characters. Each of the wives and
Detective Samantha all get their own chapters to tell the story from their
point of views. The way this was
written the reader was able to get the different sides of what happen and
compare the stories. I truly enjoyed
getting to know each character so well.
In this style I was able to relate easier and understand why each woman
was so blind to Dr. Taylor’s polygamist lifestyle. I was also able to draw conclusions as to
who might have murdered their husband and why.
Although, I cannot say that I knew who done it until the very end of the
book.
Alice LaPlante wrote an excellent murder mystery that kept
me having to read. She left me guessing
at whom the real killer was and cheering Detective Sam on. Each chapter had suspense and kept me
entertained.
This is the first book that I have read of Alice LaPlantes. I am positive that I will be looking for
more from this wonderful author.
