A captivating psychological thriller that drew me in right from the beginning. The story of Beth & Tom & their seemingly perfect fairytale life. Quickly becomes shaky once Tom is suspected in the disappearance of his ex girlfriend. Further complications arise as Tom is held and charged with murder. Complex characters & relationships are revealed with lots of twists & turns along the way. What started out as suspicion is growing exponentially!
Can Beth survive the hounding journalists & protect her daughter? Will there lives ever go back to normal or will she forever be known as “the serial killer’s wife”
A good fast paced read. Somewhat predictable but still enjoyable. Look forward to reading more from this author. A definite recommendation for those that enjoy psychological thrillers.

A great read with a few twists; some I was expecting and others were a surprise. Fairly fast paced with some likeable, and some not so, characters. I would definitely read more by this author.

Beth and Tom have the perfect marriage and the perfect child, Poppy. They have moved to a small town outside London to live their dream of a happy family, and Beth has inaugurated her coffee shop, where she also does her pottery. Everything seems to be perfect until, one night, Tom is taken by the police under suspicion of murder. Apparently, there is a link between the disappearance of Tom’s ex girlfriend, Katie, and Tom himself. And that is only the beginning...
I’ve enjoyed this book which starts off very quickly and, although there are a few parts when it seems to slow down, it manages to keep the tension going for most of the time. It’s not a “whodunnit” kind of crime book, but rather a psychological thriller which explores the reactions of a woman who realises to be the wife of a killer, and her sense of indirect responsibility towards the crimes. Overall a very enjoyable read, I’d recommend it. Out on May 27th.

A woman hears a knock at the door and the police stand there. It's her worst nightmare - it's about her husband. Except he isn't dead, he's suspected of being a murderer.
Our narrator has to live her life, looking after her small child, running her business, while the police investigation continues, and her local community look at her with suspicion.
I thought The Serial Killer's Wife was great. I read it in two sittings, because it's incredibly readable. Alice Hunter is a very accomplished writer; I had no doubts that the novel would have a satisfactory ending.
If you enjoy thrillers that twist and turn, this is for you.
