For Better and Worse

This book was recommended on YouTube mainly for the big surprise at the end! I like mysteries with Twists/Surprises.
Sorry to say this book did not do the job! Characters were OK except for the husband who could not keep his cool or his mouth shut. The surprise didn't amount to much either!!
Oh Well, on to my next book! David N.

this took me longer than i expected, probably recovering from being in hospital has something to do with it?

this struck me as a domestic ‘cozy-murder' - i wasn't really on edge, but i liked the story, it was entertaining and i did get through it pretty quick all things considering. RTC.

as we're on the thriller train, up next is a domestic thriller - the trope I've been avoiding for a while so let's see how this goes :)

3.5 stars. Good, not great.
The most interesting part in the book is literally told to us in the synopsis. While the writing is compelling and I felt anxious throughout wondering whether or not they were going to be caught, it all just fell a bit flat for me. Natalie is quite dumb for someone who apparently “knows the law” and Will is the stereotypical cheating whiner of a husband that is often portrayed in thrillers. Will def check out more from Margot Hunt in the future!

For Better and Worse by Margot Hunt published by HARLEQUIN - MIRA (U.S. and Canada). I want to start this off by saying thank you to Margot Hunt Harlequin and Netgalley for giving me a chance to read this book. This is my first read by this author and I am intrigued enough to want to read and see more. Two lawyers the perfect couple or perfect partner in crime? Natalie and Will a very interesting couple. The opening of the book is a first date where they talk about getting away with murder. After so many years of marriage they get to put that conversation to the test. Til Jail do us part or Happily ever after? “Some people just need killing” A completely true statement where it comes to this book. Natalie and Will the perfect couple doing everything to protect their son. The Clarkes have the worst situation on their hands that any parents would never want to have. Their son's principal and friend of the Clarke's has been accused of molesting a young boy at the elementary school. One day Natalie is talking with her son Jacob and he drops an awful bomb of being molested by the principal Robert as well. Talk about ATROCIOUS! The book takes you on a ride of the planning and execution of the perfect murder and you the reader are on the edge of your seat hoping they get away with it or hoping only one goes to jail. I enjoyed this read. I was just hoping for it to pack a bigger punch. Overall a strong three star read.
