Psychological thriller, abusive husband with a submissive wife
Oh. My. Word. I just sat down and started reading this book and didn’t stop until I finished it! This book was written so well. It told the reader little hints of what was to come. All the signs were there. Until all the secrets are out and the reader knows!
Carly Wilton and Lita Muldoon have been friends since school days. Lita went on to become a lawyer and Carly married Derek Wilton who is also a lawyer with another firm. Carly’s and Lita’s friendship has been strained lately. When Lita wants to meet up, Carly is rarely available, has no car. Carly’s life is wrapped up in Derek and their ten-year-old daughter Jennifer who has taken up the practice of picking on her mom like she sees her dad do. It’s what she doesn’t see her dad do that will present the problem. That’s enough of the plot. There are so many nuances of good and bad in this book, you will keep reading just like I did. I am pretty sure this book will haunt me for a while. I loved it! I volunteered to review an ARC of this book.

How many of us have known someone in an abusive relationship and wondered, “Why doesn’t she (or he!) just leave?” The answers are, of course, always complex and are often hidden from those outside the relationship. Gayle Siebert’s latest novel delves deeply into the nature of abuse and into the kind of reasons an abused person “doesn’t just leave.”
The story is told in first person through the eyes of two women who have been close friends for years. The first woman, Carly, spends all of her time trying to please her husband, usually to no avail. Lita, Carly’s best friend, offers readers the perspective of someone looking in from the outside.
I inhaled this book in just two sittings. The writing, as always in Siebert’s books, is seamless. She even manages to weave humor into this otherwise often tense tale. It is no mean trick to make the story of an abused wife into an entertaining read, but that’s exactly what Siebert has done in The Feeder.
Thank you, Gayle Siebert, for writing this book. May we all gain some understanding of this ongoing issue, while at the same time enjoying a great read.
