Mystery writer Brooke Davies and her husband just moved into an expansive home in the elite, very private and high-security Presidio Terrace neighborhood in San Francisco. Jack is a billionaire CEO of a tech company, and Brooke is his new, much younger wife.
She immediately meets Erin King, a TV news anchor and wife to a plastic surgeon (and personal beneficiary of his medical skill), who goes on to introduce her to Georgia St. Claire, who is infamous for being the “Black Widow” — her first two husbands died within a year of their marriages. She became rich upon their deaths, and many believe she murdered them for their wealth. Now she’s about to marry for the third time.
All three women are beautiful and could be seen as having the perfect lives. But that’s rarely the case, is it?
When a tragedy occurs yet again in Georgia’s proximity, everyone wonders if she’s ever told the truth and what she may be capable of. Meanwhile, Erin is trying to attract her husband’s attention, fearing he’s having an affair. And Brooke feels like a prisoner in her beautiful home. Her new friendships with Erin and Georgia are not only bright spots in her days but are giving her inspiration with her writing.
The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives is an over-the-top story of mystery and suspense populated with characters who could be plucked from nighttime soaps. It’s entertaining if you’re in the mood for that sort of read and has a few little twists.
Rated: High. Profanity includes 20 uses of strong language, about 30 instances of moderate profanity, about 40 uses of mild language, and about 30 instances of the name of Deity in vain. Sexual content includes a few sex scenes that are brief and moderate in detail. There are references to affairs. There are occasional crude references. Violence includes murders by several methods, a kidnapping victim’s finger being cut off and delivered to someone, several references to domestic abuse, and a bad car crash.
