My Lovely Wife by Samantha DowningMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was provided a copy of this book via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Since I picked up the review copy after the book was published, I listened to the audiobook so I could move this up my review list a bit faster. This was published March 26, 2019.
This book was pretty good I really liked the twists and turns but found it predictable. It is a decent domestic thriller but unlike most other readers it just didn't keep my attention. It just didn't grab me and keep me in suspense like I wanted it to. It was well written and dark at times. Some of the scenes are pretty crazy, but a lot of it was pretty unrealistic and just didn't keep me guessing. Overall it was entertaining; I just didn't love it like everyone else seemed to.
This follows seemingly perfect couple Millicent and he who never gets a name, but sometimes calls himself Tobias, for the sake of the review we’ll call him Husband. The story is narrated from Husband’s perspective, and the story he tells is quite an interesting one. He meets Millicent when they are young and barely have a penny to either of their names, they marry and have kids. Through some strategic networking, they work their way into better clientele as a real estate agent and tennis pro at the local country club. They both start to make better money and are able to move into the better part of town and provide a better life for their son and daughter. Seems like a pretty straight forward life right? Wrong! Millicent and Husband both keep quite a few secrets from each other, but that isn’t the weirdest thing about their relationship. They develop a murderous hobby filled with stalking, lies, and all sorts of twist and turns. I don’t want to tell you what they get up to because that would spoil the fun. They get up to some pretty crazy and dark shenanigans to spice up their marriage, but all is not perfect and Millicent takes Husband on a pretty wild ride.
