This book will be one that you talk about – one that you question why you’re so hooked on something so vile and yet…so clever! This is “the” psychological thriller of 2019. That’s because Samantha Downing has woven an absolute cracker of a debut novel that has had us not even noticing the name thing. He has a fake name, we know that, it’s Tobias – but do we actually get given his real name? Do we actually have time to notice until we sit down to write a review? Nope. Everyone who has reviewed this book has written Millicent and her husband. Sly, witty, and brilliant The tile, cover, and intriguing synopsis for this book made it sound too good to pass up- and it was The premise is mostly original, as a husband and wife and their two children enjoy, what appears on the surface, to be a nice normal, healthy, family life. Millicent and… what was his real name? I have scanned reviews and the book but I can’t find it. My Lovely Wife is a 2019 Berkley publication. This book is exactly what I look for in a Thriller – Gone Girl meets Mr and Mrs Smith with a sprinkling of Dexter thrown into the mix… They really are a normal couple, the parents of your kid’s friend…the colleagues you work alongside… that is…until they aren’t. Well… if you’re looking for a book that will have you second guessing, open-mouthed and astounded at every few pages then this is just the book for you. Ours just happens to be getting away with murder. We all have secrets to keeping a marriage alive. We’re your neighbors, the parents of your kid’s friend, the acquaintances you keep meaning to get dinner with.
We told each other our biggest dreams, and our darkest secrets. If you’re into thrillers, mysteries, murder, or psychopaths (uh…that is if you’re into reading about them I mean 😬), you need to read MY LOVELY WIFE by Samantha Downing.Our love story is simple. Should you read MY LOVELY WIFE?Ībsolutely! I was hooked on this story about a seemingly normal couple. It’s a binge-worthy read that allows you to look inside the mind of serial killers, and a psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. Samantha Downing balances a perfect blend of chilling plot + character development, and she doesn’t shy away from plot twists. MY LOVELY WIFE is dark, but it isn’t overly violent. The characters seem authentically sinister yet hauntingly normal. In the couple’s eyes, murder is justified, and the first-person narration makes readers believe that too. You’re put in the mindset of a couple who are truly demented, and my favorite part is that you see it from their perspective. I devoured this book because it was fast-paced and chaotic.
The characters are wicked & remorseless, but find sneaky ways to disguise their murderous personalities. Domestic suspense is one of my favorite sub-genres because the families seem so normal, but they’re anything but.
A couple’s fifteen-year marriage has finally gotten too interesting…
