The Good Wife by Jane A. Adams

The doctor's wife saw some friends and went to visit with them.  He stays with the couple they came with.  They had just finished having a picnic.  Then the cops show up and report a death in the stables.  The doctor goes with them to see if he can help.  He's shocked to see the dead woman, it's his wife!

Severn House and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published May 5th.

During the autopsy, they discover how she died and that she's pregnant.  When they share that with the husband, they find the baby isn't his.  They loved each other deeply and married but they had no marital relationship.  So whose baby is it?

She's not from around there, so they check on where she worked and what she did there.  The private detectives took pictures of her in compromising positions with the man so they could get out of their marriages.  That's not a pleasant business.  But she did meet some rich men that way.

She was a good wife.  She helped her husband with his business, participated in social groups that helped people and more.  How could this have happened to her?

She played life to close to the edge.  Then her husband was killed.  The cops finally find what she was hiding and it gives them some clues.

Just because men are rich, it doesn't make them nice...
