In some ways it felt like an improvement from the first book, as unbelievable as that is. I enjoyed it so much. I would recommend this duology in a heartbeat.

The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes is a super quick and light read. The Book started sooo good and exciting, Rob and Marian's exchanging of letters, that turns to Marian's attempt at kidnapping Rob, and now being a companions/murder and abettors lmao. However, Rob's secret wasn't that impactful/surprising that didn't even have an effect to the plot. I did enjoy the book enough until I didn't. I'll rate this book 3.5/5.

Thanks to Avon Books for the free copy of this book.

 - Cat Sebastian books are just always so wonderful, and THE PERFECT CRIMES OF MARIAN HAYES is no exception.
- Marian and Rob are a delightful couple, wary of each other at first but quickly falling for each others' charms.
- I adore how Sebastian always weaves in queerness, kindness, and discussions of consent into her books. It's just so tender, while also being fun and funny.
