The Silent Wife by Karin Slaughter
3.0

*PLEASE* let this be the last time we have to deal with the bordering-on-abusive relationship between Linton and Trent. The “He has to say it!” juxtaposed with the “She has to say it.” is junior high level relationship behavior.

And they don’t have to be the center of every plot line for the readers to care.

Leave the romance-adjacent elements out of the next book and just let them have a normal, decent relationship. We’ll still buy the books, but not have to check if we bought a Romance or a Thriller.
