FIVE STARS HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY!DEAR WIFE is a juicy, female driven thriller. There are actually a few wives that go missing in this novel and you, the reader, are tasked with the fun work of untangling the knots of which wives go with which husbands or lovers. It is an extremely clever literary ruse that Kimberly Belle has cooked up! I thoroughly enjoyed the uniquely crafted story structure.At first, I found the character roster somewhat confusing and I’m not sure this book could translate wel...

She has a plan and must not veer off course or else she will become her husband's prey.Sabine, a prominent realtor in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, has gone missing.

Once I started to read Dear Wife, I did not want to put it down. I made it to 2 am and then had to go to bed before I could finish the book but if I could have stayed awake longer I would have finished the book in one read. This was a thriller that had me going, had me wondering what was what and who was who and it all came together so well, in the end. The story is told from the points of view of Beth, Jeffrey, and Marcus. Beth is running away from her unnamed abusive husband and she's done a l...

***NOW AVAILABLE, MY #1 THRILLER FOR THIS YEAR***I was looking for a thriller to get me through yet another miserable, cold and rainy weekend. This one did the job, I didn’t do anything else but read this yesterday. This is that compulsive read that so many thrillers say they are but few deliver. From the blurb you know that Beth is on the run from her abusive husband, that Sabine is missing and that the police, in particular Marcus, are increasingly distraught at not having any substantial clue...

My reviews can also be seen at: https://deesradreadsandreviews.wordpr...4.5 Stars!! Loved it!One woman is on the run. One woman is missing.This is a new beginning for Beth. New name, new look....new life. A life far away from her abusive husband. Beth has been planning this for more than a year. She won't take any chances. This HAS to work.Sabine Hardison is missing. It doesn't look like she's taken anything with her. The police are stumped. Then her car is found abandoned. With so many secrets

4.5*Wowza! That was one finely-crafted, twisty tale!Beth Murphy needs to disappear! Leaving an abusive relationship behind. One thing she knows for certain…if he finds her, he will kill her. How far does she need to go before she’s safe? How deeply under cover can she hide? And will it ever be enough?A flurry of moving parts taking place. Her husband proclaiming his innocence. Her sister pointing fingers. The detective in charge turning over every rock! This is the second book by Kimberly Belle

Kimberly Belle has done it again! I have loved all of her books. After loving The Marriage Lie (which I have read twice by the way, and I never read a book twice), I also read and loved Three Days Missing. Naturally I had to devour Dear Wife! Not sure why I am so late in the game to read this one just lack of time.This book had multiple POV's but the author was very clever in keeping this so it was not confusing. I feel the trick to this is good character development, so each one sticks out in y...

Dear Wife by Kimberly Belle is a 2019 Park Row publication. Sabine Hardison is missing. With her husband looking increasingly guilty, the detective assigned to the case presses down hard, despite pressure from his boss to tread carefully. Meanwhile, a woman named Beth, is on the run from her abusive husband, having changed her looks and her name. Beth is determined to stay one step ahead of her husband… against all odds. My experience with Belle appears to be inconsistent. When this book came o...

4.25 I cannot put it down, it is glued to my hands, imprinted on my mind, this book is sooo good stars!!!It was one of the most enjoyable time I`ve had by reading this fast-paced , mind-bending, gripping, fascinating book. You know the feeling, you had work to do but you want to grip your book and read it in one night! Unfortunately you have obligations but in the meantime you cannot concentrate on your work because your mind is stuck on the book’s story, you ask yourself “what’s gonna happen ne...

4.25 Stars* (rounded down) Just call this Creepy and Cray-Cray and Call it a Day! Marriage: It’s not that bad (Really!).. at least not according to Jeffrey. Ask his wife Sabine and you might get a different answer. The problem of course, is that you can’t ask Sabine. She’s missing and well, you know how it works, once Jeffrey discovers it and reports his wife missing, his sister-in-law Ingrid and the police suspect Jeffrey of murder. After all, he and Sabine had a few tense moments and well, it’...

I fell victim to hype and here I sit in the outlier club once again, wondering if I read the same book that has gotten such rave reviews.The story started out strong. There’s a missing woman, Sabine. When police discover her marriage to Jeffrey was troubled and she was preparing to leave him, he becomes the chief suspect in what the police believe is a murder investigation. But first, a body must be found.Then we meet Beth, a woman on the run from an abusive husband. Beth alters her appearance a...

Phew. This book is right up my (deserted) street as I could not put it down, gripping me from the opening pages.. Beth is hurtling across states trying to put as much distance between herself and her violent, abusive excuse for a husband. She has endured countless injuries over the years and she’s had enough, she knows it’s only a matter of time before he kills her. Sabine Hardison from Pine Bluffs, Arkansas like Beth, is reported missing and her husband Jeffrey is Detective Marcus Durand number...
