The Perfect Wife

A Jessie Hunt Psychological Suspense Thriller, Book One

De: Blake Pierce

Narrado por: Laura Bannister

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, 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 audiobook one in a riveting new series that will leave you listening late into the night.

great!

This was a really different take on a genre that seems to have been done a thousand times. It has lots of different twists and "the husband " part is not actually the most interesting part of the story. Cant wait for the next one!

great story

the story is great but the narrator is horrible. I enjoyed the story though. :)

Great book!

Easy read, love Blake Pierce and this book did not disappoint! Excited to start the next book in the series!

Loved it!

The end was a real shocker. Narrator was good - modulating her voice just enough for each character to distinguish but not so much that it drew your attention away from the story. Will definitely look forward to book 2.

page turner

This book was good. I finished in the same day. It's the first book of the Jessie Hunt series. Jessie is in training to be a criminal profiler and married. They just moved from the city to the suburbs. Husband idea. After moving there things change and her husband and friends are not who they portray to be.

Very Interesting Twist

I love the main character and her sharp mind. I hope to read the rest of the series.

Liked and Hooked

I would have never read this book if the online book club I joined wouldn't have picked it. And I'm so glad they did! Twists and turns and shocks along the road with a fantastic ending that leaves you seeking more. So much so, I'm downloading the next book in the series.

Good story, bad narrator

Story was good but the narrators weird whispery voice and cadence make it hard to listen to.

HUMDRUM NARRATION, DISLIKEABLE CHARACTER

Not a fan of either the protagonist of the story or the narrator. Jessie Hunt, the central character, is not very likeable; she is a rude, impatient and know-it-all graduate student who flippantly calls people in disrespectful terms if she gets annoyed with them. The narrator reads much too slowly, with the same cadence and tone no matter what is happening in the story, and overly enunciates each word as if her audience is a group of elementary students being read to at the local library. Recommend avoiding future novels with this protagonist and this narrator.

Worst narration of any audio book I’ve ever listened to

I will forever sample a book now. The story was good but the narration really ruined the listening experience.
