This was a psychological thriller that came with a lot of drama. Aaron and Cara were having a steamy affair and shortly after it ends Cara is reported missing and Aaron is accused of being involved. This book had me on the edge- I will say the end got a little complicated and confusing. I think there were a few too many characters

When Aaron starts an affair with a colleague he could not anticipate what trouble would ensue. As the book progresses more and more secrets are revealed and there are twists and turns throughout.
The storyline kept me engaged throughout and kept me guessing too.
An enjoyable read.

This is such a great domestic thriller, and it kept me guessing until the very end. At about 1/3 of the way into it, I thought it was pretty clear cut on what was happening who “did it”, who you could trust, etc, but I was SO wrong! The back and forth view points were really interesting and added another layer to the book, showing the husband’s and wife’s POV along with the mistress at times. There were so many different layers to this book that I really didn’t predict that were woven together so well at the end. I was honestly really surprised and impressed with this book. Anyone who enjoyed The Perfect Marriage or The Wife Between Us would really like this book!

This book just didn't grip me at all, I was hoping to get more into it as I went along,i read till the end but just not for me.Hope others enjoy.

Lemme tell you what I think about this book. Firstly, it was instantly gripping. I mean gripping to the point where I just could not put it down. It was a highly entertaining and dark psychological thriller, that left me second guessing everything. The writing style flowed well, and overall had a pretty damn good pacing.

The storyline itself was pretty intriguing, however I did feel quite overwhelmed by the sheer amount of characters within this book. At times it did feel hard to follow, and I wasn’t really able to connect with many of them.

The twists in this book where good, but where especially enjoyable in the last third of the book. I did feel like I predicted what was going to happen, however was surely proven wrong!

Recommend this book for fans of psychological thrillers!

Book description sounded very good but I couldnt get into the story. Sadly this one wasnt for me but I am sure others would love it

Gripping, suspenseful, emotional, & so many twists.

This is the first book I have read by this author. You instantly get sucked in by page one. The book goes back & forth from the past to the present. Changes POVs, but has whose POV & date at the beginning of each chapter. It was confusing at times with all the time jumping. There was a lot to remember with the going back & forth so much. It isn't a book you can put down & pick up at a later date. The ending was decent. Wasn't quite as I expected it to end.

Overall it's a quick read & riveting.

found myself constantly surprised by the plot twists; the book was so gripping that I couldn't stop turning the pages.

Obsession, manipulation and lies are the order of the day in this brilliant book.

Angela Henry has crafted an intricate plot with plenty of twists and red herrings, which kept me reading and in fact, I finished the book in an evening!

The story is told from the POV of Paige and her husband Aaron, with the timeline switching between the time before and after the disappearance of Aaron’s former mistress, Dr Cara Morton. We also get an insight into Cara’s childhood.

The characterisation was excellent with every character having a key part in the story; no boring or irrelevant fillers, just a fast paced and gripping story that kept me guessing.

4.5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Angela He et and Storm, for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Let me just say, every time I thought I figured out what was going on, I was wrong! The book had me flipping the pages I couldn't put it down. There were some parts in the middle that felt a little too unrealistic for me and some parts seemed to drag a little, but the ending was great. It was a great psychological thriller overall.

This book was not really for me,the writing was good but I found it a bit confusing and didn’t really have an interest in all the faculty talk,I did however like the idea of the character going and buying the contents of lock ups etc,that was fascinating….as say well written and some goof twists

This was a suspenseful journey through the complexities of relationships, secrets and the consequences of desire. Our FMC Paige finds herself caught in a web of doubt and intrigue when she suspects that her husband is having an affair with the glamorous Cara Morton. You can feel the tension that Paige is going through and the emotions that she is experiencing after discovering her husband's possible infidelity. Then a bombshell accusation is dropped concerning her husband and threatens his professional life but Paige remains steadfast by his side.

The exploration of secrets within a marriage, coupled with the questions of whether her husband is capable of murder, adds a gripping element to the narrative. This was hard to put down because I was so invested in the story that I had to know what happened next.

4/5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Paige is married to Aaron. Aaron is having an affair with Cara, another professor at his college. Now Cara is missing. Cara isn't all there. She has issues and a few sketchy things that she has done as well
Terri is down on her luck. She buys auctioned containers hoping to find things left behind to sell. In this container, she has found a 1st edition book and a body. She doesn't want to have to leave the book behind. She needs to sell it to get cash. So she doesn't say anything about the body found
Paige wants Aaron to end this relationship with Cara at all costs, no matter the cost
Aaron just might do anything to get his family back
Is Aaron a murderer or does his wife have as many secrets to hide as he does

Paige realizes that her college professor husband is having an affair with his colleague and he promises to break it off. When he does, his mistress makes an accusation that threatens to ruin his career as well as his marriage. His mistress then suddenly disappears and Paige doesn't know whether he is capable of murder as the cops believe. So many twists and turns. You just don't know what will be revealed next.

The Perfect Affair is about an affair that is anything but perfect. Aaron is a professor at a local college with twin children and a wife who also works, so life is busy. When an attractive younger colleague pays him flattering attention, he begins an affair. But all is not as it seems. These are deeply flawed people with damaging pasts. Cara, the other woman, hides her flaws, but when Aaron tries to end the affair, she shows her true self.
The further I read in this book, the more I was hooked. It is disturbing and fascinating at the same time. And the ending was a real twist.
Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC of this book.

Thank you to netgalley and storm publishing for the oppurtunity to read this book by Angela Henry.
This is my first read from this author, and it definitely wont be the last. Ive been in a bit of a reading slump recently but this book i just genuinely couldn't put it down, it had me hooked the whole way through.
I really liked the characters within this book, and i didnt guess how it was going to end.
I would definitely recommend this if your are into thrillers. It kept me reading, and i didnt want to put it down. 100% worth a read

Aaron, a newly-promoted college professor, starts a romance with his beautiful new colleague, Cara. When Cara disappears, Aaron is the prime suspect in her disappearance. The story is told in flashbacks and present time, from the perspective of Aaron, his wife Paige, and Detective Alfonso, who is convinced that Aaron is guilty.
Aaron and Paige are separately trying to find evidence to prove Aaron's innocence, talking to everyone around the small town who has connections or history with Cara and her family.
OK for a beach read.

A well written mystery is a satisfying day for the little brain cells. This is my first read of Angela Henry and I must say that I am left impressed.

Aaron and Paige Nichols are a married couple with marital problems and Aaron is stepping out on her. He meets Cara Morton whose younger age and vibrancy gets him attracted to her. The story really starts unfolding when Cara Morton disappears and the story goes back and forth in time trying to fit the pieces.

The story is told in dual POV's of the couple which makes you think about the events unfolding. Throughout the plot the disappearance of Cara puts the spotlight on the couple at the same time also showing the relationship between Cara and Aaron. The writing was good though it did lag in a few paces stretching the plotline. The end though gives the reader, a really good mystery novel though the culprit was mostly predicate.

I give this book 4 stars for the seamless flow of timelines and unravelling of the characters.

I just reviewed The Perfect Affair by Angela Henry. #ThePerfectAffair #NetGalley

I really enjoyed reading this book! It was an absolute page-turner! Henry has this knack for crafting a suspenseful narrative that kept me hooked from the get-go. The characters are so well-drawn, and the plot twists? Genius. I love how she weaves mystery and intrigue with a touch of heart. The writing style is engaging, making it one of those books you just can't put down.

When a book gives you that .. just one more page, or just to the end of this chapter.. then you find its 3am and you’re thinking, well that was a ride! Loved this book from start to finish. Plenty of character detail, plot, and just overall a fab read! Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the arc. Definitely recommend.
