The Silent Wife 
A.S.A.  Harrison
2013

A chilling psychological thriller about a marriage, a way of life, and how far one woman will go to keep what is rightfully hers...

Harrison's novel is the latest entry into the Gone Girl genre of first person stories about marriages gone awry. This story focuses on Jodi and her "husband" Todd. They have never married officially, but they have been together for 20 years. Todd has apparently always cheated, but he has kept it quiet until his most recent conquest, Natasha. Without giving away to much of the plot, suffice to say, Todd doesn't make it through to the end of the story. There are enough little twists that keep the reader engaged. And, I was surprised when the book ended, almost thought there could be more to the story.

Jodi is a psychologist with her own take on the profession. Todd is a builder and anyone familiar with Chicago will enjoy the tour of the neighborhoods and walks along the lakefront.

This A.S.A. Harrison's first novel. She has written four non-fiction works.  She died recently while working on her next thriller.
