Maribelle’s Shadow REVIEW!

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2023

James A. Cox from Midwest Book Review — check out the full review here!

Synopsis: As the editorial director of Palm Beach Confidential, Maribelle Walker knows what lurks beneath the glittering facade of the moneyed elite on Florida’s most glamorous coast. Or does she?

When her adored and impressive husband, Samuel, dies suddenly, the secrets and lies between Maribelle and her sisters rise to the surface. Compounding the anguish, the authenticity of their socially ambitious mother and lavish lifestyle of mansions, privilege and couture clothes is thrown into doubt.

As their carefully constructed image unravels, each sister realizes she must fend for herself. The pathway out is steep and worth any risk. Until the winner takes all.

Critique: A carefully crafted, original, inherently riveting, and impressively compelling tale of deception and family loyalty, “Maribelle’s Shadow” by author Susannah Marren is a riveting read that will be of immense interest to fans of contemporary women’s fiction. While especially and unreservedly recommended for community library Contemporary General Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that “Maribelle’s Shadow” is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $9.49).

Maribelle’s Shadow

The only thing that spreads faster than gossip in Palm Beach is news of a mysterious death.

As the editorial director of Palm Beach Confidential, Maribelle Barrows knows what lies beneath the glittering facade of the moneyed elite on Florida’s glamourous coast. Or does she?

When her adored and impressive husband, Samuel, dies suddenly, the secrets and lies between Maribelle and her sisters rise to the surface. Compounding the anguish, the authenticity of their socially ambitious mother and their lavish lifestyle of mansions, privilege and couture clothes is thrown into doubt. As their carefully constructed image unravels, each sister realizes she must fend for herself. While the pathway out is steep, it is worth any risk. Until the winner takes all.

Maribelle’s Shadow is a compelling tale of deception and what lurks beneath family loyalty, written by a nationally renowned observer of women’s relationships.
