They say his wife killed him. If so&#8230; which one?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Polygamist Blake Nelson built a homestead on a hidden stretch of land\u2014a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah\u2014where he lived with his three wives:<\/p>\n<p>Rachel, the first wife, obedient and doting to a fault, with a past she&#8217;d prefer to keep quiet. Tina, the rebel wife, everything Rachel isn&#8217;t, straight from rehab and the Vegas strip. And Emily, the young wife, na\u00efve and scared, estranged from her Catholic family.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that they had in common was Blake. Until all three are accused of his murder.<\/p>\n<p>When Blake is found dead under the desert sun, all three wives become suspect\u2014not only to the police, but to each other. As the investigation draws them closer, each wife must decide who can be trusted. With stories surfacing of a notorious cult tucked away in the hills, whispers flying about a fourth wife, and evidence that can&#8217;t quite explain what had been keeping Blake busy, the three widows face a reckoning that might shatter all they know to be true.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
