Book Review: The Three Mrs. Wrights | Linda Keir
If you’re looking for a soapy suspense novel that is (bonus!) available on Kindle Unlimited, then Linda Keir’s The Three Mrs. Wrights is your next read. I thought this book was like a good Wednesday-night blockbuster movie that you might watch on the streaming app of your choice—not too deep, no shocking twists, but a whole lot of fun!
The Three Mrs. Wrights | Characters
Lark is struggling to make a career out of designing board games. She lives in Los Angeles, CA with her roommate, Callie, and recently broke up with her serious boyfriend, Dylan. She meets Tripp on a business trip to Buffalo and the two hit it off.
Jessica has recently completed her ivy league medical school and turned down a fellowship at Duke and moved to Chicago to join a medical start up committed to developing technology that detects childhood cancer before it is diagnosed. She is also engaged to the handsome Jon who is the founder of the company.
Holly is married to Jack and the couple have three kids, Ava, Logan, and Paige. Holly also has a medical degree and successful private practice. She is passionate about horses and runs a charity called Horse Stability which raises money to support horse rescue and adoption. Her volunteer Brian is helping her to execute on her ten-year vision to build out her charity.
Jonathan M. Wright III is the same person as Tripp, Jon, and Jack.
The Three Mrs. Wrights | Plot
Lark is about to be forced to give up on her life’s dream of being a board-game developer when she is in Buffalo for a pitch meeting with investors and has a one night stand with the handsome Tripp Mitchell. After a whirlwind date to Niagara Falls, Tripp flies to visit her in LA and offers to fund her game himself and help her establish her own board game company, Larkspur.
Jessica has followed her life plan to a T—ivy league education, followed by medical school, and then meet the perfect husband. She is just now checking the last box with the handsome Jonathan Wright, her fiancé and the owner of a start-up developing technology to detect childhood cancer before diagnosis. Jessica is thrilled to move to Chicago and work for Jonathan’s company, but they have to keep their relationship under wraps at work until his messy divorce is final.
Holly is known proudly as the Barrington Hills Horse Lady. She owns a charity dedicated to support horse rescue and adoption, has her own stable, a successful private medical practice, and three lovely children. Her life would be nearly perfect, if only her husband Jack didn’t continue to have affairs right under her nose. Holly has resigned herself to her marriage to a man who doesn’t respect their vows, until she learns that he has escalated with his most recent love interest and hired her to his company.
Three women, three relationships, but only one Mr. Wright. If only the three can set aside their pain and work together to take him down once and for all… But Jonathan M. Wright III didn’t become who he is through a lack of wits and charm. Who will win, Mr. Wright or the three Mrs. Wrights?
The Three Mrs. Wrights | Review
I wouldn’t call this a psychological thriller in the traditional sense, I would consider this book to be more of a women’s fiction with dramatic suspense. The reader knows from the beginning that all three women are in relationships with the same man, so there isn’t a twist that pulls that card on the reader. Instead, this is the story of a man who is an absolutely brilliant liar and manipulator, and the three women he is using until they catch onto his game.
What I liked
Even though the book starts with the three women being somewhat (or fully) in the dark about Mr. Wright’s true nature, the story quickly becomes one of female empowerment. Holly should be the most to blame since she has been aware of (and looked the other way from) her husband’s affairs for many years, but somehow she comes across as a strong, poised, and philanthropic woman who is taking the emotional burden of her marital issues on herself to give her kids the life and family she wants them to have. Holly is without question the most savvy of the three women.
I also liked that there was a sort of Theranos-like plot involving Mr. Wright’s company with Jessica at the helm. While Jessica was the hardest for me to connect with as a character, I liked that her story was less about her relationship woes, and more about her figuring out what her boss and fiancé was up to at work including potentially defrauding their investors. Jessica is someone with a life plan that she derailed when she met Jon. She is the weak, nerdy doctor her thinks, though. In fact, Jessica begins to suspect something is up at work much sooner than in her relationship, and I liked that it was clear immediately he picked the wrong woman to mess with.
What didn’t work
Lark was the hardest to fit into the story for me, because I wasn’t as clear why Tripp / Mr. Wright would bother with the engagement and investment in a board game company that didn’t seem to fit into his broader life. I was even more surprised and befuddled when he proposes to her. I felt that Lark’s story and connection to the broader narrative was the weakest point of the book, and I kept wanting her chapters to move on so I could get back to Holly and Jessica’s stories.
The book begins with Lark meeting Tripp and their one-night-stand so I almost wonder if the story (and book) would have worked better if the teaser didn’t give away that it was three women marrying the same man upfront. It would have been quite a twist if we saw more of Lark’s story play out with Tripp buying her the office space in LA and founding her company, and then moved back in time to learn that he had two other women he was married or engaged to. That would have been a jaw-dropping moment that would have made the story more compelling.
The Three Mrs. Wrights | Ending
Nothing ground breaking with the ending of this book, as it is pretty clear from the start that this will be the story of the three women finding out about what is going on. The big intrigue to me is the Theranos-esque fraud plot that Jessica is unraveling, compounded by her learning that Jon / Mr. Wright is definitely not divorcing his wife. While the book itself is a lot of fun, I did think the ending was drier than I anticipated.
[su_spoiler title=”The Ending (spoilers)” style=”fancy”]Holly meets Jessica when she stops by the office and we learn she already knew about the affair. However, she didn’t know that her husband had hired his mistress, let alone was engaged to her. Meanwhile Jessica and Mr. Wright get married while on a work trip to Cancun. He is now married to both women.
Holly eventually convinces Jessica that Jon / Mr. Wright has been lying to her all along. Jessica tells Holly that she has uncovered a number of inconsistencies in the data and ethics at work, and the two realize that Jonathan married Jessica so that she can’t testify against him.
They team up and Holly is able to break into the safe at their home and uncover a flashdrive that contains quite a bit of evidence against Mr. Wright.
By chance, Lark finds out Tripp’s real name and she confronts him about his lies. She meets Jessica and Holly, and the two show up to her wedding with Tripp / Mr. Wright where she returns his investment in her board game and the FBI arrive to arrest him for defrauding his investors.
In the epilogue, we learn that Holly is now in a relationship with her volunteer and friend Brian and they’ve grown the horse charity, Jessica has helped rebrand the company and discover a use for the technology and is married, and Lark has had the keynote at a board game convention.
Jon / Jack / Tripp spent 18 months in prison for fraud, tax evasion, embezzlement, and 10 months for bigamy. He is now a motivational speaker where he has a TED talk called “How I Lied About My Name and Discovered My Truth”. He also runs a successful start up.[/su_spoiler]
[su_spoiler title=”What I thought about the ending (spoilers)” style=”fancy”]I compared this to a blockbuster movie that was fun but didn’t have a ton of depth, and I would say that the ending delivered that same comparison. It was a bit convenient that all three women went on to be smashing successes. I thought we needed a bit more build up to how they unraveled his life. The ending also heavily featured his relationship with Lark but it came out of no where. At the very end the three women are celebrating their successes together and they ponder that they still aren’t sure why he wanted to marry Lark. They decide it was because he wanted to escape his life and Lark offered that.
I felt that was not a very satisfying answer or conclusion for such a brilliantly deceptive man. I was glad the three women came out on top, but also felt it would have really been a show stopper to end with him back in the fraud game (and potentially using a new identity). I wanted it to end with him meeting a new women, perhaps this would be the actual third Mrs. Wright (since Lark never technically married him).
Overall a fun read but the ending dried up a bit too much for me.[/su_spoiler]

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com visit https://spiritualwork.mozellosite.com

Praise be to the incredible gifted Lord Meduza, I’ve never seen or heard of his lottery spell failing, not even once, and that includes my own experience. Every day, I feel renewed blessings after connecting with the Great Lord Meduza, who gifted me my winning six-digit lottery numbers that won me $740,000,000 million dollars by using his magical skills to foresee the outcome. I’m a dad of four, and it’s been a few years since I lost my wife to cancer; I miss her terribly. To wrap things up, I really want to thank Great Meduza for being so good at what he does. His guidance and lessons were applied swiftly and precisely, leading us to the best possible result, which we definitely achieved. May you stay blessed and know you’re in good hands with Lord Meduza.. You can reach him by email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or Call/Whats__App +1 807 798-3042.

The marital crisis I was going through came to and end when Dr Isikolo got involved. Just like every other couples out there, we had our differences and I ensure I did my best to lead her right, provide for her and my kids and also protected them. We both made sacrifices to ensure we survived the union until she started acting up and deliberately had so many fights with me. The home became unpleasant for everyone else including my children. She was being manipulated by a friend who had been divorced and wanted to also ruin my marriage. I had to contact Dr Isikolo and he responded and did his best to end the issues. He restored the love and connection between us and I can tell now that whatever illusion my wife was under has been taking away and she is a better woman now. The result of what Dr Isikolo did for me that manifested after two days was what amazed me. I and my household remain grateful. I appeal to anyone who needs help to fix their relationships and marital problems to contact Dr Isikolo because the solution is sure.

Good day, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.

I am here to say all i experienced with Dr Isikolo just like everyone else who is grateful would do. Dr Isikolo saved my marriage and it happened just like a miracle. For a very long time, I have issues with my husband and he became very distant from me and that alone worries me a lot. Family and friends did all they could to help the situation but to no avail. Days became week and weeks became months and months became two years plus. I knew I had to seek help. So I contacted Dr Isikolo and he offered willingly to help me which he did. He resolved the situation and the love and connection I and my husband shared, was restored and it all happened like a miracle. Now we do everything together and the kids are so happy that I never left and Dr Isikolo is all I have to thank for the full support and making my family happy and whole again. contact him on his webpage: https://isikolo-temple.com or text him on WhatsApp +2348133261196

My husband started acting weird and going out with other ladies and showed me cold love since the start of the year. On several occasions he threatened to divorce me if I dare question him about his affair with other ladies. I was totally devastated and confused until an old friend of mine told me about Dr Ilekhojie who help people with relationship and marriage problem. At first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try and contacted him. He performed a reconciliation ritual to make our connection strong and ensure no one comes between us. Now, my husband has stopped going out with other ladies and his with me for good and for real.
