The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
2.5

If I were to think of this story as a form of murder mystery satire, I think that I'd give it a 3-3.5⭐. The problem with that, of course, is that it's not satire, and yet it was so deeply unserious. It's kind of hard to care too much about a character being framed if that character is really annoying with few (if any?) likeable qualities. If you like lots of melodrama and don't need stories (and characters for that matter) that feel realistic, then the general plot of this story actually isn't so bad and as thrillers go I think the twist is fine. It's not too predictable. Having read one of Jeneva Rose's newer releases I think that she's grown a lot as a writer since publishing this one.
