Interesting right from the start and held my interest easily. Then that very last little bit... WHAT?! 🤯😂 Brilliant and enjoyable read would definitely recommend.
This was a mindfuck from the beginning. Sure, you know something is up and even though not much happens, it's a slow burn thriller, there's still enough going on to keep you entertained and curious about the outcome.
The plot I didn't see coming at all and the epilogue was

Great storyline with twists I didn't see and an ending the leaves you wanting more.
"The Serial Killer"s Wife" by Alice Hunter focuses on Beth & Tom Hardcastle. They have by all accounts an amazing life together-- they both are successful businesspeople, they have a beautiful home, and an amazing daughter, Poppy. They have the type of life many would be envious of.
All that changes one evening when Tom is home late from work. Beth begins to panic- was he in an accident? When the cops knock of her door, her first fear is that something horrible has happened. Only, it turns out to be not what she thought: Tom isn't hurt, but the cops think he might have hurt someone else--his former lover, Katie.
The book follows on Tom being arrested and charged for Katie's murder. Then, along the way, more tidbits are dropped, and more women appear connected to Tom. While Beth is coping with the new madness that is her life, she forms convenient friendships. These friendships were some of the more interesting parts of the book for me.
This book was certainly interesting and I did enjoy going along for the ride; however, I do believe the first half of the book dragged a bit, while the last part was rushed. That is really my only wish for the book was that the pacing was different. It wasn't a page-turner for me, but rather a gradual build up.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

also ding is, es war ok, aber ich hab jeden twist von vierzig kilometer entfernung gerochen. ABER positiv ist, dass nur weil die menschen so gut charakterisiert wurden, ich in der lage war, den braten zu riechen. ich schwanke zwischen 2 und 3 sternen und realistisch würde ich vermutlich 2.5 geben.
5 stars! Absolutely fantastic! Kept me turning the page the whole way through, brilliant ending that I did not suspect but should have seen coming a lot earlier than I did! Fantastic characters, it left you with so many questions. Hunters style of writing was easy to loose yourself in, I really couldn’t put it down and ordered three more of her books to arrive the next day!
