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.

"[A] sharply observed thriller." (PopSugar)

"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

Yes Ma’am! 🔥🔥

I really enjoyed this book. So many plot twist my ear was glued to my EarPod! Having a few East Texas ties it was fun to hear about some familiar locations. The author really draws you in with the character development of each lady and their position in the friend group. The main character is very relatable and easy to connect to. The antagonist could have possibly been given a bit more so that we can really understand her but maybe the stories of each wife can develop into more books that I would definitely read. There are some super steamy parts of this book that are well written and allow the reader to feel as though they are in the moment with each character.
Great job Mary. Keep them coming.

Not What I Expected...

It was an interesting listen..but not worth the hype it deserved when it came out. iI don't agree with the one star reviews. Everyone has their own opinion on what they find a good listen/read.

Somewhat Predictable

Good character development. Sometimes felt like the continuity was lost here and there. Over all a good listen. Not disappointed, so that’s good!

PS: Actually thought the show was less convoluted, though definitely more salacious. Lol!
