My Lovely Wife opening line: She is looking at me.
My blurb:
Tobias is deaf and uses his phone to ‘talk’ to women. He thinks this is the best way to start a relationship. But is it really? Who is Tobias and why is he the man you should not be taking home?
My Lovely Wife
Every marriage has secrets. Everyone has flaws. Your wife isn’t perfect – you know that – but then again nor are you.But now a serial killer is on the loose in your small town, preying on young women. Fear is driving your well-behaved young daughter off the rails, and you find yourself in bed late at night, looking at the woman who lies asleep beside you.Because you thought you knew the worst about her. The truth is you know nothing at all.
My verdict:
I love psychological thrillers. And especially ones with a storyline you could believe. And this one ticks all the boxes. You will not want to put down this novel by Samantha Downing.
