The Serial Killer’s Wife

So slow and Beth is the most unlikeable character ever. Your husband is a potential murderer and you're concerned about what the yummy mummies think of you?! Ended up skim-reading the last 60% of the book.

Utterly preposterous but hugely entertaining, full of horrible people doing ridiculous things and acting in ridiculous ways. I gave this 4 stars because a good time was had by all but a more realistic, less cake induced rating would have been 3. There's a sequel which I will probably read if I see it lying around in a charity shop.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for a e-arc copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book was quite slow paced considering the title and premise of this thriller. I think the first 60% could have been condensed as I felt we spent a lot of time with Beth talking to characters and doing the nursery run which was a little dull. Then the last 10% hit the reader with lots of twists but I felt the character of Beth was a little flat so considering we were meant to flip our opinions on her, I didn't feel the shock factor I have in other thrillers. The way the serial killer narrative progressed with Tom wasn't as explored as I would have liked. However it was a fun thriller and I read it super quickly. I am intrigued to carry on with the series and see how another perspective will enhance this story.

It sounded stiff for me, maybe due to her voice or the attempt to turn her into a criminal mastermind at the end.

Kept my attention at first, suspenseful and I wanted to know what happened to the women. However, the dialogue between characters was lacking, plot became choppy and unbelievable-characters had no depth. The end tied it all up, but I'll let you make up your mind if you choose to read it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ – That twist!
