1 of 1 copy available

Gwen Lake is a forty-five-year-old police officer with a desk job, an ex-husband and a future not even close to the American dream.

A year after her divorce, and more out of boredom and curiosity than anything else, she agrees to a meeting with her ex's new wife. She has no idea that the encounter will lead to murder. And she has decidedly mixed emotions when her ex-husband is arrested for the crime. Instead of accepting the lead detective's advice to book a Club Med vacation and leave the investigation to the professionals, Gwen decides to work the case on her own. Her life is about to get a lot less predictable and a lot more dangerous.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for older teen readers and adults who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read!

      In The Second Wife, 45-year-old Gwen Lake, a police officer and self-described couch potato in Duluth, Minnesota, tries to prove her ex-husbands innocence after he is accused of murder and, in a wish-fulfilling ending, gets a chance at a new job while turning the tables on her former spouse.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
