#BookReview The Perfect Wife by Blake Pierce

About The Book

Criminal profiler in training (and newlywed) Jessie Hunt, 29, discovers that dark secrets lurk in her new suburban town; when a body turns up dead, she finds herself caught in the crosshairs of her newfound friends, her husband’s secrets, her serial killer caseload—and the secrets of her own dark past.

As her world starts to unravel, Jessie begins to question everything around her—including her own sanity. Has she truly uncovered a disturbing conspiracy buried within a sunny, wealthy Southern California beach town? Does the mass murderer she's studying really somehow know the origin of her private nightmares?

My Thoughts

As a suspense book lover, this book was OK for me.

Personally, I didn’t much like the character Jessica. Though the author tried her best to describe her, I couldn’t relate to her. At times the book is too similar to Hannibal Lecter and Silence of the Lambs.

The plot began slowly but quickly picks up speed with much tension and suspense, culminating in a shocking conclusion.
