I didn't know what I was getting into when I chose the book, A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick. This is another book that would be better read in the summer and not at the end of a long winter. The story is set in northern Wisconsin and takes place during a long winter. Snow falls extra heavy here because of the lake effect and the weather is miserable. Ralph Truitt is the main character and he is rich but not in the things that money can not buy. The writer talks about the long miserable winter and how some people can not stand it and do crazy things such as murder, acts pf insanity, self-destruction, and suicide. The plot is ghastly and the wife turns out to be unreliable but it was a good read..
