Summary

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.

In The Perfect Wife, criminal profiler in training Jessie Hunt is sure she's finally put the darkness of her childhood behind her. She and her husband, Kyle, just moved from a cramped downtown Los Angeles apartment into a Westport Beach mansion. Kyle's promotion has them swimming in money. And Jessie is on the verge of getting her master's degree in forensic psychology, the last step in her dream of becoming a criminal profiler.

But soon after their arrival, Jessie begins to notice a series of strange developments. The neighbors - and their au pairs - all seem to be hiding secrets. The mysterious yacht club Kyle is desperate to join is rife with cheating spouses and with troubling rules of its own. And the notorious serial killer being held at the psychiatric hospital where Jessie is completing her degree seems to know more about her life than is normal - or safe.

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?

Or has her tortured past finally come back to claim her?

A fast-paced psychological suspense thriller with unforgettable characters and heart-pounding suspense, The Perfect Wife is audiobook one in a riveting new series that will leave you listening late into the night.

Great story difficult narration

I thought this was an interesting story and good cliff hangar for the next book, but sadly I won’t be buying it because the narrators voice is difficult to listen to-a but annoying really

Hard going

It was very slow going to get into, nothing really grips you until well over half way through, and I guessed the ending. The narrator wasn't great, too slow and not very animated. But overall fairly good, would probably listen to the next one.

Bit of a slow start...

It was a good story and storyline and when it got going it was an easy listen, however the narrator sounded like AI and it was a bit odd at times.

Narrator was AWFUL!

Absolutely diabolical! I got this for free on the kindle so I added narration so I could listen at bedtime.
I ended up reading more than listening because the narrator was AWFUL!! Soooooo bad! I can’t believe she’s narrated several books! She’s got an “ERMEGERD!” accent. Half the words I couldn’t understand, she sounded a LOT like the comic book guy from The Simpson’s.
I’m going to have to return the audio for a refund, I can’t justify parting money for this trash.
