What a page turner . I couldn’t put this book down and had me changing my mind throughout . An easy page turner . 4.5 stars

I really enjoyed reading this book, I would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't been for the last couple pages. I liked the plot twist towards the end, however the last couple lines of the book felt off to me, I'm not sure if it is supposed to make me keep thinking or if I'm supposed to look for another book to this story. I may have missed something with Julia along the way though.... the author gave us tid bits about her but I didn't feel she was fully developed so I guess I wasn't sure what to think.

I was super excited to read this as I have seen it about a lot and the title just grabs you immediately!

This is definitely a slow burn book and for avid thriller fans, you can probably guess the twist early on.

I found the main female character hard to like, despite the situation she was in, and felt that held me back from enjoying the book as much as I could have.

Overall a page turning read but just lacking that eye opening punch!!

This was a good book, quite twisty with short chapters which I like. The characters were believable and the plot interesting.

DNF - Did not finish. I did not connect with the writing style or plot and will not be finishing this title. Thank you, NetGalley and Publisher for the early copy!

The title and description drew me in but the story was just okay. It was a very slow burn which made it difficult at times to immerse myself in it. It had potential to be a great story but the lack of suspense and drama made it just an average read.

What a fun surprise this book was! I didn’t go into this expecting many twists since the synopsis says pretty much what we need to know. Well, if you think like I do, you’ll be wrong too!

Beth is devastated and embarrassed when her husband is suspected of murdering an ex gf of his. What really happened though? Was it an accident or does Beth not know her husband as well as she thought? There are some good twists here that I was NOT expecting as a seasoned reader. Because of that, I would definitely read more from this author! Do not hesitate to read this!

I absolutely enjoyed this twisty, surprising, heart pounding reading!
It’s a fresh start and intriguing debut novel earned my four criminal minds, dysfunctional relationships, perfect couple stars!

I enjoyed this book. There were a few twists and turns along the way, enough to keep me engaged. I loved the characters and loved the way it was written. I’d recommend this story.

Fantastic book! I HAD to read it all in one night. I just couldn't put it down. I love the show Dexter and this book was very suspenseful.

Beth is unamused when her husband is late coming home from work. When the police came knocking at her door, she believed the worst had happened, little did she know what the worst actually was.

I am all for a true crime novel. I feel that this was a perspective that I had never heard of before. We see a lot of novels from the perspective of the victims families, but not typically from the family of the perpetrator. While I enjoyed it, it was definitely a little slow. I would have liked a little more action. All in all, it was a good read.

My first book, that I have read by this author, absolutely brilliant! Highly recommended, and I will definitely read others written by this author!

What a fun, easy thriller that may just leave you questioning everything at the end. Alice Hunter did an excellent job setting the scene and building the characters. There is a slow build of the characters as you get to know them throughout the book. Beth and Tom's life quickly changes as Tom is arrested for the murder of an ex-girlfriend. Life isn't always what it seems and this book will certainly make you second guess alot of things that are said and wonder what really happened. The title is interesting because it really takes reading the entire book to understand the title but I think it's great. There are some great twists that I suspected but truly questioned so many things that I didn't know how it would end. I really enjoyed this thriller/mystery and can't wait to read more from Alice Hunter.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the advanced readers copy to read and review!

In the first 40% of this book I didn’t feel like a lot had happened at all. After that I did enjoy the book more but then the ending was a little disappointing as I think the big reveal didn’t have the impact it should’ve.

3/5:

I’ll admit that I had a tough time getting through this book initially and when it finally started to pick up I still struggled with the writing style. I found the characters hard to empathize with (even Adam who I wasn’t too big of a fan of).

I did however appreciate the plot and the twists that arose. My only comment would be that given how Tom’s past plays out I actually think a different title would have fit this book better. The readers already know Tom is a serial killer because of the title and synopsis so there didn’t seem to be a need for the slow burn nature of revealing his guilt/actions. Part of the fun is figuring out if Tom really is guilty etc and that answer is given way too easily.

Overall I enjoyed the twists and plot so thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollinsPublishers for the advanced read of The Serial Killer’s Wife.

Ok what a twisty book this was… I did not see the ending coming at all, and I enjoyed the book and finding out about what has happened to this couple. I won’t say too much about this book to avoid spoilers but I enjoyed this book in general and found it to be an easy read.

Really enjoyed this book. Some really good twists, especially at the end. Loved it and can't wait to read more from the author.

I’m giving this three but only because it had a good twist and ending. It was not that well written so a bit disappointed.
