I was disappointed in “Guilty Wives” because the events in the story unfold so slowly. The premise is a very good one in which four female best friends are on vacation in Europe. Together they are accused and tried of a major crime. So far so good, but the novel takes a nose dive and is boring the rest of the way. I was surprised at the sluggish pacing of the story. “Guilty Wives” is a ho hum novel at best.
