THE THIRD WIFE follows Adrian Wolfe, the patriarch of two families, who loses his third wife to a suspected suicide. 

The third-person narrative details the lives of his ex-wives and his children, varying from toddlers to young adults, and their opinions on this blended family of his.

When suspicious emails are uncovered that were sent to his late wife, Adrian goes on a mission to uncover if it was really a suicide or something more sinister. 

LISA JEWELL writes with purpose as all the characters have a secret or two that they hope stays hidden in this story about the trials of family life.

hindsight: not enough suspense for me
