About this audiobook

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 (A Jessie Hunt Psychological Suspense Thriller—Book One), 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 book #1 in a riveting new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

Worst. Book. EVER. Every twist was telegraphed and easily predictable by the end of chapter 2. And the narrator was pretty awful as well. Every time she voices a male character she sounds like she's doing a really bad Napoleon Dynamite impression. Hard to listen to, and even harder to finish. the only reason I made it to the end is because I refuse to rate a book I didn't finish, and I felt obligated to try to help save others from wasting their time.

I mean... I guess it was interesting enough for me to finish. It was stupid. Author doesn't know how to dialogue. The number of times I would have served divorce papers to this husband before it escalated is ridiculous. The Hannibal Lecter knockoff B Plot dragged on like the most tedious strip ever with no reward.

Awful. Like many others I cannot stand Laura Bannister's voice, couple that to the main protagonist, and you have a near-perfect recipe for a complete flop. Whilst there is some suspense, Jessie Hunt is about as irritating as it's possible to get. She's high-maintenance, superficial and galactically stupid. I most definitely did not feel any urge to listen to any other stories in this series.
