Kate’s 2¢: “The Starter Wife” by Nina Laurin

“The Starter Wife” by Nina Laurin

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   The LS summary doesn’t do “The Starter Wife” justice. This is quite the psychological thriller.

   It always amazes me how an author can convolute so many plot twists, time changes, pov directions and still come up with all the puzzle pieces fitting together to make a satisfying ending.

From her website:

Nina Laurin is the author of two bestselling psychological thrillers, both out with Grand Central Publishing.

Arriving in Montreal when she was just twelve years old, she speaks and reads in Russian, French, and English, but writes her novels in English.

She wrote her first novel while getting her creative writing degree from Concordia University, and “Girl Last Seen” was published a year later in 2017. The follow-up, “What My Sister Knew”, came out on June 19th 2018 to critical acclaim.

Her next psychological thriller, “The Starter Wife”, comes out on June 11th, 2019.

Nina is fascinated by the darker side of mundane things, and she’s always on the lookout for her next twisted book idea.
