Description: In The Perfect Wife, criminal profiler in training Jessie Hunt is confident. She believes she has 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. Jessie is on the verge of getting her master’s degree in forensic psychology. This is 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 all seem to be hiding secrets. The mysterious yacht club Kyle is desperate to join is full of cheating spouses. It also has troubling rules of its own. The notorious serial killer is being held at the psychiatric hospital. Jessie is completing her degree there. He seems to know more about her life than is normal. It is not 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?

My Thoughts: This is a fast-paced psychological suspense thriller. I loved every minute of this book with the constant twists and turns. This audiobook had me in a chokehold. The book was well written, and I enjoyed how the characters were developed. If you are interested in reading about serial killers, then I definitely recommend this book it is that good.
