The Starter Wife
The Starter Wife is a gripping psychological thriller told largely from the perspective of Claire Westcott, the new wife of college professor, Byron. Claire constantly fears she cannot measure up to Byron's first wife, Colleen, a famous painter who disappeared eight years ago and was presumed dead by suicide, though her body was never found.
Claire's anxiety escalates when she begins receiving mysterious phone calls and messages that she believes are from Colleen, suggesting she is still alive. As Claire investigates Colleen's past, she uncovers terrifying secrets about Byron and their seemingly perfect marriage. The novel uses unreliable narrators and deep psychological suspense to weave a dark tale of obsession, delusion, and the deadly truths hidden within a seemingly normal suburban life.
