Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy. I felt this book was a little predictable. There were some good twists to it and the overall reason was not what I expected, but predictable in the events and who the killer was.

A very quick read! Great for the Beach or a plane trip but a little predictable?! Still a fun little psychological thriller that seems to be getting more popular these days! Author even left the end open for a possible sequel??? Thanks for my advanced readers copy!

Wow what a great story so well written kept me gripped and guessing and second guessing right til the very end !!

Gemma and Danny have the perfect marriage, or so Gemma would have police believe. One day when Gemma comes home, Danny is gone. She contacts the police only to find a serial killer with a very particular victim type is at large in the area. All the victims look just like Danny. Gemma is terrified for her husband, but police aren’t buying it; she says he’s been missing for two days, but no one else has seen Danny for weeks. This is a twisted mystery that kept me guessing until the end

This mystery keeps the reader waiting for what might happen next. I guessed the outcome early on but still wanted to see how the story would end. The language should be toned down-that would not take away from the theme of the story and the actions of the characters. Vulgarity does not add to the telling. I liked this book and will look forward to more from this author.

After spending more hours than I would care to acknowledge on every mystery/suspense/thriller book that I can get my hands on, I will own that I have a problem. I realize that I am addicted to this genre, but with that knowledge, it is apparent that I have also become desensitized to the tropes, plot twists, shocks, thrills, mind benders, etc.

As of late, my approach has been to dial down the expectations and critique each story based upon its readability and entertainment value. 'The Perfect Couple' was a quick read that flowed well and kept me engaged. Although my suspicions came to fruition, the author did a great job of creating a couple of diversions and threw in a red herring here and there. I was very much entertained with this book. My only complaint was at times the narrative was redundant, especially at the end. It became drawn out, repetitive, as the reader was debriefed on the details of the investigation and the motive... but it was still a fun title. I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley, Harper Impulse and Killer Reads, and Jackie Kabler for an ARC of 'The Perfect Couple' in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

Honestly I wasn’t a fan of The Perfect Couple. I loved Am I Guilty and maybe my expectations were a little high but this book just didn’t work for me at all.

It’s a great idea but very little happens within a large part of the book and I feel it could have been shortened without losing any of the story. It’s all a bit of a cliche.

This had all the right parts to be a great crime thriller but I found myself bored and aware of what was going to happen next. The twist wasn’t a surprise and I found the ending frustrating.

I’ve been reading a lot of thrillers lately and 2020 is shaping up to be a good year for them.

The book follows Gemma and also the investigation into two murders in Bristol. When Gemma arrives home to find her partner Danny missing, she winds up reporting him missing - and is shocked to find the victims of the murders all look like Danny.

With the police on the hunt for a serial killer, they aren’t convinced by Gemma’s story. She’s the only one who’s seen Danny in weeks and there is barely any trace of him in her apartment.

This book was really well paced. I thought the tempo was just right and the characters were well developed. I also enjoyed the twist and the ending was satisfying. I flew through this in one sitting. Definitely one to add to your 2020 to be read list

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

I loved this one. Very fast paced, had me turning pages as I tore through it – I had to see how it would end. The characters were well rounded and the narrative felt believable. Gave me chills. Solid five
