amandaallen03 's review for:
The Serial Killer's Wife
by Alice Hunter
"The Serial Killer"s Wife" by Alice Hunter focuses on Beth & Tom Hardcastle. They have by all accounts an amazing life together-- they both are successful businesspeople, they have a beautiful home, and an amazing daughter, Poppy. They have the type of life many would be envious of.
All that changes one evening when Tom is home late from work. Beth begins to panic- was he in an accident? When the cops knock of her door, her first fear is that something horrible has happened. Only, it turns out to be not what she thought: Tom isn't hurt, but the cops think he might have hurt someone else--his former lover, Katie.
The book follows on Tom being arrested and charged for Katie's murder. Then, along the way, more tidbits are dropped, and more women appear connected to Tom. While Beth is coping with the new madness that is her life, she forms convenient friendships. These friendships were some of the more interesting parts of the book for me.
This book was certainly interesting and I did enjoy going along for the ride; however, I do believe the first half of the book dragged a bit, while the last part was rushed. That is really my only wish for the book was that the pacing was different. It wasn't a page-turner for me, but rather a gradual build up.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
