A twisted Cinderella story from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Ann Aguirre Marlena Altizer Durst lives in her husband's shadow. He controls her every move―what she wears, the food she eats, and the friends she's allowed to make. If she disobeys, there are...consequences. And he has all the power. To outsiders, it seems that she leads a fairy-tale life. But nobody ever wonders if Cinderella was happy after she married the prince. Marlena has traded freedom and safety for luxurious imprisonment, and most days, that seems like a bad bargain. Death may be the only exit she's allowed. Just like his first wife. And his second. Unless she flips the script. " The Third Mrs. Durst is a slow, dark burn that leads to a fantastic explosion of an ending."―Victoria Helen Stone, bestselling author of Jane Doe

After JANE DOE I was primed to love this revenge story, nor was I disappointed. Learning elements of Marlena’s plan at the end wasn’t quite as satisfying as watching Jane’s plan from an inside seat, and the real life elements that come with both the name “Marlena” and “Durst” add another layer of sadness (as none of those women got a happy ending). The ending seemed a bit fast, but that’s easy to forgive for how much I love, love, love Marlena’s ride into the sunset.
