The Serial Killer's Wife by Alice Hunter
4.0

I’ll be keeping my eye out for the author’s future work. Ms. Hunter has fabricated a juicy psychological thriller brimming with disturbing fantasies, complex characters and complicated relationships!

Does anyone really know their spouse? How long can you let yourself be deceived before you suspect you’ve been manipulated into believing their lies?

Beth and Tom have an enviable marriage until Tom is questioned about the disappearance of an old girlfriend. Before long, he’s arrested and charged with murder. I felt guilty, taking joy in reading about their crumbling marriage, as Beth is left to take care of their daughter—Poppy—and deal with the hostile backlash of being a serial killer’s wife! It’s hard to believe she’s been married to a monster all of these years, without knowing it.

I usually hate endings that don’t provide full closure, but I loved this twisty (and somewhat predictable) ending! Alice Hunter is on my radar for sure!

Thank you to NetGalley, Alice Hunter and Avon Books UK for this free digital ARC, in exchange for my honest opinion!
