      A delicious twist on a Gothic classic, The Wife Upstairs pairs Southern charm with atmospheric domestic suspense, perfect for fans of B.A. Paris and Megan Miranda.
      Meet Jane. Newly arrived to Birmingham, Alabama, Jane is a broke dog-walker in Thornfield Estatesa gated community full of McMansions, shiny SUVs, and bored housewives. The kind of place where no one will notice if Jane lifts the discarded tchotchkes and jewelry off the side tables of her well-heeled clients. Where no one will think to ask if Jane is her real name.
      But her luck changes when she meets Eddie Rochester. Recently widowed, Eddie is Thornfield Estates' most mysterious resident. His wife, Bea, drowned in a boating accident with her best friend, their bodies lost to the deep. Jane can't help but see an opportunity in Eddienot only is he rich, brooding, and handsome, he could also offer her the kind of protection she's always yearned for.
      Yet as Jane and Eddie fall for each other, Jane is increasingly haunted by the legend of Bea, an ambitious beauty with a rags-to-riches origin story, who launched a wildly successful southern lifestyle brand. How can she, plain Jane, ever measure up? And can she win Eddie's heart before her pastor hiscatches up to her?
      With delicious suspense, incisive wit, and a fresh, feminist sensibility, The Wife Upstairs flips the script on a timeless tale of forbidden romance, ill-advised attraction, and a wife who just won't stay buried. In this vivid reimagining of one of literature's most twisted love triangles, which Mrs. Rochester will get her happy ending?

    I didn’t give it a four because I didn’t feel it was a retelling but more so a good story using elements of a great story. While I understand this to be a contemporary retelling, some stories are not meant to be brought into a contemporary setting and can lose luster by uber fans of the originals. I decided to restart the story after 7 chapters and remove Jane Eyre from my thinking all together. If I didn’t, this would have been 2 stars.

    That said, I enjoyed this story. It was a story I did not want to put down. There were a few plot twist, some I should have known were coming and some I absolutely had no clue would take place. I could have done without all the F bombs and wish authors would understand an F bomb doesn’t make you an adult writer.

    After discussing the book with friends I wanted to look at what could cast similarities between stories. I look back at the literature study I did back in my forst round of college.

    To me, Jane is two totally different people in each story. The only similarity being the name and having a rough upbringing. I find the original Jane much stronger.

    I don’t feel John is represented in the same way and is just a way to smug the Christian view as a lot of books are doing now a days. I do think the original St John is a little grimy and off, not as saint like as many try to make the would be missionary out to be. In this “retelling”, John is made to be thought of someone who would harm or sexually advance on Jane without her permission when in the original, St John’s morals would not allow him to do such things. This all said, the character could surround the grimy cousin John Reed, in which suit would fit the grim he portrayed towards a young Jane. But it feels like they are trying to mix the two.

    Making Adele a dog made me laugh ...

    As you can see, I am a fan of the original much more than the new story but enjoyed The Wife Upstairs enough to keep it on my shelves and reread it at some point. ( )

    I liked the twisty and turny mystery. I also really found how this story was loosely inspired by jane erye it also a gothic elements that i enjoyed. I also really enjoyed the various POV that we got and thought it was thriller that i did not not see the ending or twists coming. It was super fast pace story, but all of the characters were super unlikeable and that did hinder my enjoyment, but it reminded of the a list but with murder!! Really liked listening to this book as well! ( )

    This book had plenty of twists, and even though I had a good idea how it was going to end, it kept my interest. Jane finds her life leaping from dog walker and roommate to creepy John one minute to the fiance of Eddie, who sounds like the perfect man. But everyone has secrets, and Eddie's got a doozy.
    Jane finds herself in the middle of a ritzy, keep-up-with-the-Jones neighborhood and a murder investigation that hits a little too close to home.
    Jane has her own secretive past, but also realizes her new cushy life with Eddie is far from perfect... and could be downright dangerous. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me a copy of this audiobook. ( )
