The Wife

By Alafair Burke

Publisher: Harper
Pages: 352
Tags: Mystery Murder

Camille Cosby was a touchstone for this startlingly timely novel by a former prosecutor. In Burke's fictional take, Angela, the devoted spouse of a socially conscious talking head charged with sexual assault, brings dark new meaning to the word "loyalty." Sensational and sly, The Wife is the perfect literary companion for the #MeToo moment.
