The Perfect Home by Daniel Kenitz
2.0
If I were to write down a formula of what makes a thriller The Perfect Home would fit all of the boxes, which may sound like a good thing, but it made for a really boring book.
Charming, charismatic husband...check
Low self-esteem, wife who's been gaslit...check
High stakes drama...check
Bad police procedure...check
There was no shock and awe, and I think that stemmed in part to the dual points of view. If we excluded Wyatt, and allowed Dawn to be an unreliable narrator it may have had more twists and turns but every twist and every turn could be seen from chapters away. The friendship were like superficial, and the police were just so bad. Also, even if the house was owned by a shell company it is still Dawn's known residence and no way would it have been considered illegal for her to return.
If you need an easy read, this may be a book for you. If you want something thrilling, I'd sit this one out.
Thank you Scribner Books for the gifted copy.
