Crime & Mystery; Thriller & suspense

Ophelia, a professor of Dante, is stricken when she discovers that her husband Andy has been cheating on her with a winsome colleague. What follows is Ophelia'

s figurative descent into hell as she obsessively tracks her subjects, performs surveillance in her beat-up Volvo, and moves into the property next door to Amber'

s, which has gone into foreclosure. She spies on the lovers, growing more and more estranged from reality. Andy'

s betrayal reawakens the earlier trauma of abandonment by her mother at the age of eight. When Andy and Amber become engaged, Ophelia snaps. The story is a jailhouse confessional, a dark comedy, an oeuvre of women'

s rage, a suspenseful revenge fantasy, and a moving portrait of one woman'

s psychological breakdown.

Reviews for The Vixen Amber Halloway

"""Think suspense and thriller. LaHines's fascinating narrator, Ophelia, is decidedly pathological...she's also sympathetic, humorous, intelligent-a deeply damaged woman telling her tale to a prison psychiatrist in preparation for a hearing before a parole board, but it's not a confession."" --Baum on Books, NPR Podcast ""Carol LaHines' chilling novel chronicles a jilted woman's descent into madness."" -- Associated Press Review ""A heart-wrenching account of one soon-to-be-ex-wife's psychological breakdown... a compulsive read."" --Katrīna Biele, reviewer for Medium.com"
