"The Marriage Vendetta" was quite an engaging read. What Caroline Madden has done well was not revealing all the cards too early and to let the reader slowly discover what's going on in Eliza's current life (which is not great) but also what events brought her to this point (which were not great either). On a surface it's a simple story of a wife trying to get back at an unfaithful husband without loosing herself in the proces (hence the therapy). But there is so much more to it.

The author seamlessly combines the elements of magical realism, Irish folklore, domestic-not-so-noir (but still kind of touching on the genre) and her afterword shines yet completely new light on the whole story.

Well-executed plot with complex characters. Definitely a must-read.
