Readers who are partial to edgy, taught mysteries are going to love Kimberly Belle’s newest novel, Dear Wife - it hooks you on the first page and never lets you go. But I’ve no regrets as I sit here with blood-shot eyes and an over-caffeinated heartbeat because it was totally worth it. Despite having small children that wake up before dawn, I was up well past midnight-not one, but two nights in a row-as I devoured this domestic thriller. In sleep currency, Dear Wife is a two-pots-of-coffee-the-next-morning kind of story. The value of a book should be measured by the amount of sleep you’re willing to sacrifice for the ending.
