This was not what I would call a thriller per say but the suburban wives drama with a side of murder is so fun. The villians are so caricature-y but in a way that makes everything so intensely dramatic. Every time x character did something I thought they couldn’t be any worse and I was wrong. But I had a fun time with it.

A book with this much sex and murder should not be this boring!! It wasn't necessarily predictable... I just didn't really care by the end.

The slowest burn I've ever read from a thriller. Only picked up at the 7 hour mark. Which is a little unfortunate that you spend 7 hours listening to only get 2 hours of intriguing action.

Listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it - the voice acting was great and the plot was intriguing. I did find some of the writing repetitive, but the ending really saved the whole book for me.

October 2024 Update! After listening to the audio of and thoroughly enjoying several more of Ms Rose's books, I gave this one another try, and WOW! I'm so glad I did. The story was rapid-paced and perfectly woven together. I did not see the ending coming at all, especially after the first twist happened. I'm so glad I gave this book another try. 


June 2023: Two thirds the way into the book, no one was dead and I still couldn't find a point to the story. Super bummed after enjoying The Perfect Marriage so much.
