The Serial Killer's Wife by Alice Hunter
3.0

This is the author’s debut novel, and while she shows a lot of promise as an author, this book just wasn’t it for me. I wasn’t a fan of the characters or the writing style, and the plot limped along way too slowly for a thriller. The idea of getting a story from the point of view of the wife of a serial killer was beyond interesting to me, but unfortunately, the execution ultimately fell flat. However, I will say that even despite my criticisms, this book kept me engaged enough that I never really considered DNF’ing it…and I am a notorious DNF’er.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher.
