Marlena Altizer Durst lives in her husband's shadow. He controls her every move―what she wears, the food she eats, and the friends she's allowed to make. If she disobeys, there are...consequences. And he has all the power.
To outsiders, it seems that she leads a fairy-tale life. But nobody ever wonders if Cinderella was happy after she married the prince. Marlena has traded freedom and safety for luxurious imprisonment, and most days, that seems like a bad bargain. Death may be the only exit she's allowed. Just like his first wife. And his second. Unless she flips the script.
Some people just need killing.

What I thought about The Third Mrs. Durst
This is a tough book to review because everything has the potential to be a spoiler so I'll stick with the basics. Marlena does everything to attract rich widower Michael, but once they are married, everything changes. When I say that, it's not pretty at all.
Marlena must decide what she's going to do, and letting Michael make himself a widower (again) isn't an option. More is revealed about these characters as the story continues, and yeah -- Michael is a bad dude. It wasn't always easy to be sympathetic to Marlena as well, and I thought that took something away from the story.
This is a quick, easy-to-read thriller that you can finish quickly, if you are in the mood for some romantic suspense. Trigger warnings for violence. Regular readers of mystery/suspense might find some of the events predictable.
An ARC was provided for review.
