The Worst Wife

I married for money. But did I kill for it? A darkly humorous, twisted mystery from Amy Tintera, author of the New York Times bestseller Listen for the Lie.

Charlotte's five-step plan to be the best wife:


  1. Love your husband despite the age gap between you (or just love his money)
  2. Act distraught when he vanishes from a family party
  3. Try not to become the main suspect in his disappearance
  4. Save yourself by seeking help from the people who know him best (his exes)
  5. Be careful when searching for your husband's family secrets. Especially as that killed his first wife…

In case of emergency resort to plan B: be the worst wife.
