The Wrong Wife by Jule McBride (1994) is a Har­le­quin Romance #546. This TBR review was writ­ten by fel­low reader, Sen­e­tra. Can’t say that I’d add this one to the stock­pile.

Harle­quin has decided to re-release their Vin­tage col­lec­tion of crime nov­els with the orig­i­nal cover art. I had no idea that Har­le­quin, which is syn­ony­mous with romance, pub­lished hard boiled mys­ter­ies.
Any­way, the cov­ers are all quite arrest­ing to look at and made me sali­vate to read one. I didn’t know who to start with first so […]

The plot and theme of the story seems to fall under the umbrella of a rekin­dled love story with an art heist. Sigh. I guess this is a pop­u­lar theme for roman­tic sus­pense nov­els. It was tough enough to […]

Where does one even begin? The Devil and Via by Marie Tre­anor started off sooooo well but towards the end, the story com­pletely fell apart.  I advise to not read any fur­ther if you don’t want to be spoiled. I hold noth­ing back and it isn’t pretty.
