The Hunting Wives

De: May Cobb

Narrado por: Katherine Fenton

The Hunting Wives share more than target practice, martinis and bad behaviour 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 realises 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 spiralling out of control.

Southern Charm Meets Scandal

I thoroughly enjoyed The Hunting Wives. It’s a wild, addictive mix of dark thrills, manipulative friendships, and unapologetic seduction, whether you’re reading the book or watching the binge worthy series.

Some characters were indeed grating but that only ramped up the drama in a delicious, soapy way. Critics call it “out‑there and fun,” while audiences are captivated by its subversive queer dynamics, scandalous fashion, and Southern cultural commentary. It’s both empowering and outrageous, a perfect guilty pleasure escape even if it occasionally crosses into straight up messy territory.

If you’re looking for messy, glamorous, and unfiltered storytelling this is your ride.
