The Trophy Wife by Diana Diamond
My main problem with The Trophy Wife is the title. It calls up nothing when I hear it, despite the fact that I enjoyed the book. Someone could have put some effort into coming up with a more appropriate title. Since I won’t ever remember what this was about otherwise, I’ll tell myself: it’s about an executive’s wife getting kidnapped and what he does to get her back. The executive has a girlfriend and there’s a security head who gets heavily involved as well.
Anyway, I bought this looking for a fast-paced, fun read and it was. Although I started to get a glimmer of the ending before it happened, it was far enough along in the story that I wasn’t bothered. The pacing was good and there were enough plot twists to keep me on my toes.
Everyone says this is a pseudonym for a male mystery written but I haven’t been able to find out who. Seems kind of stupid since you might as well get cross-over sales. I’d read another by her/him.
