From that point on, Eden’s life becomes rather crazy as she tries to discover exactly what is happening. Other characters include Eden’s wealthy husband – Harrison, the town sergeant – Luke Carter, Eden’s daughter – Gabriella and Birdy – the granddaughter of a former town resident. There are many clues along the way in this story, but many of them don’t become apparent until later . . . the deception comes from all directions, and it was brilliant!
The chapters in “My Husband’s Wife” are told from multiple points of view. I found the characters very intriguing, even though they weren’t really likeable.
