Booklist Review
Kate Easton, recently divorced at 39, feels like the entire world is moving along without her. Her children are growing up far too quickly, and her ex-husband is irritatingly content with his new wife. Realizing that ex-husbands and cranky teenagers are unsolvable problems, Kate decides to take charge of her financial situation by renting out part of her house to a lodger. It's not long before Kate, immediately impressed by Davis Calder's easygoing charm, realizes that her neighborly feelings for her new lodger run quite a bit deeper. Though Kate's overjoyed to hear that Davis' feelings for her are mutual, she never expects to uncover the terrible secret he's been hiding. The Second Husband is a roller-coaster of a novel, first taking readers through the dizzying heights of a new relationship, then down to the depths of betrayal and false hope. Candlish has an admirable flair for family drama, and the page-turning plot should hook fans of Zoe Heller and Maria Semple. Thrilling and tautly paced, Candlish's story of lost innocence and new strength should enthrall readers.--Turza, Stephanie Copyright 2010 Booklist
