Review: The Other Mrs. Miller

The Other Mrs. Miller The Other Mrs. Miller by Allison Dickson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Part one was very boring for me. This is where we learn characters and some background to the story.

Phoebe miller has inherited a fortune from her father, david noble. Mr. Noble has made a career out of sexual assaulting his female co-workers. Now that he is dead all these women are coming out of the wood work and have now made Phoebe isolate herself in her home in suburban lake forest, Illinois.

She drinks way too much and hates going out in public and now has become paranoid someone is watching her and she keeps a log of every time said car is parked outside of her house. She thinks it’s a reporter but she is unsure. Her husband, wyatt, is a therapist, wants children and keeps pushing Phoebe to have them/ adopt them. Phoebe is fed up with wyatt and the nagging.

When a new family moves in across the street everything changes for Pheobe. Vicki Napier because Phoebe’s best friend and also where she meets her 18 year old son who just happens to be Pheobe’s lover. This is where we find out that Vicki’s husband is an alcoholic with a temper and a doctor with his own drama.
The girl in the blue car is still watching them and watching all of the drama unfold.

Part 2 becomes way better and more interesting and starts off with someone being murdered. But the real question is who is responsible. Everyone is a suspect. Even when you think you know who did it, bam plot twist.

I held this book to a very high standard after reading a lot of my friends review’s but sadly I rated it as “ok”. I would have rated higher if part one did not bore me as much as it did. But all in all still a great read with a great mystery.
