A Book of the Month Club Selection

“Gossipy, scandalous housewives behaving badly might make this the juiciest read of the season." (Library Journal, starred review)

"Sultry, salacious and utterly unpredictable.... You'll devour it." (Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Home Before Dark)

The Hunting Wives share more than target practice, martinis, and bad behavior in this novel of obsession, seduction, and murder.

Sophie O'Neill left behind an envy-inspiring career and the stressful, competitive life of big-city Chicago to settle down with her husband and young son in a small Texas town. It seems like the perfect life with a beautiful home in an idyllic rural community. But Sophie soon realizes that life is now too quiet, and she's feeling bored and restless.

Then she meets Margot Banks, an alluring socialite who is part of an elite clique secretly known as the Hunting Wives. Sophie finds herself completely drawn to Margot and swept into her mysterious world of late-night target practice and dangerous partying. As Sophie's curiosity gives way to full-blown obsession, she slips farther away from the safety of her family and deeper into this nest of vipers.

When the body of a teenage girl is discovered in the woods where the Hunting Wives meet, Sophie finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and her life spiraling out of control.

"ATTN anyone who loves Big Little Lies, Mean Girls, and Desperate Housewives: [this] suspense novel is for you." (Betches)

Great ending

The story started slow but the ending was soo good, I was on the edge of my seat

Bizarre

It was kinda of like a mix between a simple favor and cruel intentions. I really didn’t like the characters but I loved the writing. They just were horrible people and I didn’t care too much what happened to MC at the end but I enjoyed the story.

Find your inner wife!

Love every moment of this book. Will keep you gasping and can’t stop listening. You won’t regret listening or reading it

Lots of Drama

Like Desperate Housewives with murder. Lots of drama. Some of the characters are seriously stupid but it’s part of the story that highlights how someone can become over involved and get in too deep with bad consequences. Narrator was so good and the plot keeps unraveling until the very end!

Thrilling!!!!

Loved the book. Started off slow, and I couldn’t wait to hear what was going to happen next. Definitely kept me on edge! Love love loved this book

The perfect summer soap

This is so twisty and melodramatic. Like the best soap opera you just can’t look away from.

Different than the show!

I read this after watching the show because people said it was different and it was! Not what I expected and still such a good story line! Less spicy then the show though

Soooo Good!!!!

One of my favorite books of the year, I didn’t want to stop listening! I had to know what was going to happen next. Just loved it!!!

Twists and Turns

I enjoyed this from the first pages. It took a bit to get going but I now know that was to give the reader context into each character and how they relate. There were some dark themes and I respect the author for taking them on. Another plus was the setting--it made the story that much better. I would buy again.

Solid A-

This book was interesting overall. An entertaining and captivating listen, with an ending that wraps up well enough. Would have liked more cat and mouse, and it doesn’t leave you with any profound enlightenment at the end, but i give it an A for entertainment! Narrators voice is easy to listen to as well.
