Mad Mabel
A Recipe for Ashes, a Husband’s Confession, and One Woman’s Gentle WarBy Marcus Aldene Cole
Length1h
About this audiobook
Mabel Cole has been the perfect wife for a quarter century. She hosts the dinner parties, tends the garden, and swallows her questions when her husband comes home late smelling of unfamiliar perfume. But when she discovers a burned hotel receipt in his jacket pocket, she stops asking. She starts planning. She has ninety days until their twenty-fifth anniversary party, and she intends to serve him a meal he will never forget.
Her husband Paul thinks she is invisible. He thinks she is too busy vacuuming to notice the credit card statements, the secret phone calls, the young woman named Brianna who answers his late-night texts with heart emojis. But Mabel has been watching. She has a lockbox full of evidence, a burner phone, and a timeline written in a floral notebook. She does not want to destroy him. She wants him to destroy himself, piece by piece, confession by confession, in front of everyone who ever believed his lies.
