This was an amazingly well-written who-done-it set in the land of the Mormons during modern times. A bit grizzly (only surrounding the method of murder) and told from the perspective of each of the 3 sister wives chapter by chapter.

A strange novel, told completely in alternating chapters by three co-wives of a Mormon fundamentalist living together in the desert of Utah. I don't know if I believe all the details of these people's beliefs and habits as portrayed in the book, but it's plotted reasonably well, with more and more revelations about things going on below the surface as the book progresses.

The only thing the three women had in common was their husband.
And, as of this morning, that they're each accused of his murder.
Blake Nelson moved onto a hidden stretch of land - a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah - where he lived with his three wives:
Rachel, the chief wife, obedient and doting to a fault.
Tina, the other wife, who is everything Rachel isn't.
And Emily, the youngest wife, who knows little else.
When their husband is found dead under the desert sun, the questions pile up.
But none of the widows know who would want to kill a good man like Blake.
Or, at least, that's what they'll tell the police...
This is a book about 3 Mormon wives who marry one man named Blake. It was not what I thought the book was about. I thought it was a book written by Kate Quinn but I started it anyway and got about 1/2 through it and decided I couldn't read anymore so I DNF'd it. But I did look in the back of the book to find out who the killer was. So I ended up with 3 stars as that's what it meant to me. Glad I'm done with that book as I couldn't read anymore.
