A snaking twisting ride into the middle of a young family torn apart by allegations of murder. When the police knock on the door of Beth and Tom Hardcastle the resulting investigation means that life will never be the same again. The author previously worked for the NHS and on completing a psychology degree then worked in a men’s prison facilitating rehabilitation programmes, she has also written thrillers under another name. While the title screams a high body count, the story weaves through the reactions of community and friendship as the allegation hits. The four narrators each have their own unique voice, with Beth and Tom speaking in the present, Katie in the past, while a further un-named narrator adds a decidedly chilling tone. These are characters who delight in provoking the reader, both in terms of decisions they make, and who they are. As I read my thoughts paused before moving down new paths as each voice and short chapter altered the plot in turn. The Serial Killer’s Wife is a read you can throw yourself into and race through, while the plot corkscrews itself through to a highly entertaining end.

When you own a pottery café, you’d best be prepared for some breakages!

A twisty debut which kept me guessing! I loved the fact that a pottery café features, and enjoyed the sections of the novel set there, as I love going to my local pottery café.... Read Full Review

Catherine L Jenkins

A terrifically twisty tale! So utterly moreish!

So utterly moreish! This book kept me guessing all the way through, and little twists kept surprising me!

Beth's husband Tom is arrested in connection with the disappearance of an ex girlfriend. Beth knows he can't be involved, but as time goes on she discovers new things about Tom and she wonders whether she ever really knew him, and whether he knew her.

This was one of those books where you have to keep reading late into the night, wondering what will happen next, who to believe, how that happened. Great twists and turns all the way through.... Read Full Review

Sarah Jones

The Serial Killer's Wife grabs you by the scruff of the neck from the very beginning and drops you in an exhausted heap at the end. This is one cracking read!

Tom and Beth have a perfect marriage, a gorgeous three-year-old daughter and an idyllic family life nestled in the village of Lower Tew, or so it seems. But when Tom is unexpectedly linked to the disappearance of a former girlfriend everything unravels. As the lies start to surface and the cracks begin to appear we find ourselves questioning how well we really know the ones we love and just how far we would go to protect them. After all everyone has secrets, don't they? It just depends how good you are at keeping them.

Seriously fast paced and yet in no way superficial, the short, punchy chapters of The Serial Killer’s Wife hurtle through the story at breakneck speed.... Read Full Review
