Every marriage has its secrets…

Beth and Tom Hardcastle are the envy of their neighbourhood – they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family.

When the police knock on their door one evening, Beth panics. Tom should be back from work by now – what if he’s crashed his car? She fears the worst.

But the worst is beyond imagining.

As the interrogation begins, Beth will find herself questioning everything she believed about her husband.

They’re saying he’s a monster. And they’re saying she knew.

There, she was part of a team offering rehabilitation programmes to men serving sentences for a wide range of offences, often working with prisoners who’d committed serious violent crimes.

THE SERIAL KILLER’S WIFE draws heavily on her knowledge of psychology and the criminal mind.

Reviews for The Serial Killer’s Wife

[Judy Griffith · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wow is all I can say . Need a part 2

[Kerrie Greene · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Excellent, though telling narration… unfortunately I had nearly the entire plot figured out from the beginning…. And the only twist was thinking it couldn’t possibly be that simple… I was wrong.
If you’re a fan of lifetime esq books, you may enjoy this, but if you’re looking for something with substance, skip this one.

[Ma At · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a roller coaster ride worth every minute invested. I was left literally shaking my head. At some point I was unable to put it down.
Well Done !!

[Ruth Jimenez-Perez · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Somewhat predictable, but entertaining during my long commute. The relationship between Tom and Beth could have been explored a bit more. Did not get that dynamic.

[Karyn Bradley · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was ok, a little predictable but not bad. The o Lu issue I had is the female narrator’s mouth sounds. Very distracting and a little gross.

[OT · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Starts off really good- then it drags for waaayyyyy too many chapters. It could have been 100 pages shorter and been an excellent book.

[Jodie Moore · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the story, a little dark and definitely some questionable behaviors, but overall kept my interest. And the ending, made it all worth it, didn't see that one coming.

[Beth · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This had a different storyline, which I thought was intriguing, but the book just didn't create a compelling read for me. I finished it because I didn't have anything else . The twist at the end was good, but it seemed a long, slow listen to get there.

[Julia Sundstrom · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Really enjoyed it! Easy to follow, good characters, love a good twist at the end.

[Diane Cheney · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

These are the most unlikable characters I've ever encountered in one book. There's not one person in this predictable drivel to root for. I kept waiting for a twist that would make it less obvious, but no. It is exactly what you think it is.
The narrators are great though.
