‘Dead To Her’ by Sarah Pinborough is a thoroughly entertaining story. It covers so many themes, love, jealousy, revenge, prestige, wealth and romance to name a few.
I have not read any of Sarah Pinborough’s work previous to this, but I now know this matter needs rectifying double-quick!

The story introduces us to Marcie Maddox, a woman living in opulence, with luxury yachts, absolutely stunning mansions and the fancy country clubs to hand in Savannah, Georgia. She is the second wife of Jason and finding it hard to keep his attention. This gets even worse when William Radford IV, his boss returns with a new wife, Kaisha. It really isn’t too much time before Jason and Keisha are attracted to each other and we find Marcie fighting for her place. We are treated to an absolute blistering ride alongside the rich and famous of Savannah.

This is a book were it is very hard to find a likeable character but, boy, I enjoyed it and it makes its mark. Both Marcia and Keisha are aware that being a second wife means they can’t put a foot wrong and neither of them is willing to relinquish the life. They are both from the wrong side of the tracks and realise how easy it is to go back there. we see Marcie uses everything in her power, including a little voodoo in order to keep her place in society, it is that important.

A brilliantly well-plotted story, with well-developed characters showing exactly what women will do in desperation. I was loving the Savannah life that’s for sure! The world-building was fabulous! Not keen on the machinations of it though. Loved the suspense throughout, did keep me wondering. All in all a really good read!

Thanks to Random Things Tours for inviting me onto the tour and Harper Collins for the copy of the book.
