In the opening chapters of The Eco Wife, Gailey subtly introduces Evelyn and her ambition. It is immediately clear that Evelyn is a women who always gets what she wants; the reader first meets her at a banquet to accept a prestigious award. But, what she achieved in the scientific field cost her husband. Gailey gives little away; she drops clues to Evelyn's ambition and cold heart but doesn't reveal what guilt eats at her heart, who stood in Evelyn's way, and what they paid.

Gailey's writing is precise as she details Evelyn's love of luxury and dedication to her work in the lab. Sprinkled throughout are flashbacks to Evelyn's husband who clearly longed for some of the attention that his wife gave to her work. Gailey cunningly weaves a story of intrigue, ambition, and revenge.
The Eco wife promises to be a slow-burn thriller propelled by a ruthless protagonist that is perfect for fans of Gone Girl!
