Happy Wife

DEBUT Nora Somerset is mostly happy in her marriage to Will—a handsome, charismatic, and ultra-wealthy man in his mid-40s. Her days as a housewife in Will’s Winter Park, FL, mansion are a far cry from Nora’s previous life juggling two jobs and living with her mother to make ends meet. But as Will’s much younger second wife, she hasn’t exactly been welcomed into his world. His ex-wife Constance, furious at being replaced in society, sees Nora as an interloper, and Will’s law partner Fritz resents Nora, convinced that she’s distracting Will from his work. So when Will goes missing after the birthday party Nora throws for him, the police consider her a prime suspect. Though their short marriage had some rough patches, Nora feels almost as if she’s being set up. Since Will’s circle seems intent on throwing her to the wolves, she realizes she may be the only one who can uncover the truth. With the help of her best friend and neighbor Este, plus Perry—an unexpected link to Will’s past—Nora begins unraveling a web of secrets, discovering that some people—and some things—are not what they seem.
