Book review: The Wife Before, by Shanora Williams


Very entertaining whodunit thriller!  Samira marries Roland Graham, professional golfer whose reputation has been stained by the death of his first wife.  There’s a mystery about the death, he was initially accused, but there was insufficient evidence, so he was acquitted.  


However, Samira believes in him and falls in love, so she marries him. Then later she finds information and starts to investigate and learns that not all is how everyone thinks.


The author did a great job in keeping the reader interested as the plot gets more and more convoluted.  The story was entertaining, although not very deep into character development.  I didn’t feel like I knew any of the characters except for Samira because the book is written in first person and we read about her thoughts and feelings. I also didn’t feel any suspense as I read, just curiosity and interest as the mystery is unravelled.  It still made for very entertaining reading, as Samira, who was flighty and never finished anything, decided to finish this investigation to the last consequences.
