A review by diaryofthebookdragon
The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler

4.0

Mystery is a genre that I have just recently started reading, and Domestic Suspense is my favorite subgenre. I guess I just like the feeling when my husband asks me what am I reading about and I nonchalantly answer.
"Oh, just about a wife killing her husband."
(I gotta keep him on his toes lol)
Anyway, The Perfect Couple is not about a wife murdering her husband but about a wife whose husband disappeared. Or is it?
[insert Twilight Zone music]

The story had nice pacing. I loved how Jackie Kabler switches points of view between a wife and police detectives and how they had a different interpretation of events. To whom to believe? What is happening?
For me, the mark of a good mystery novel is when the story keeps me guessing until the end and that was the case here.
Recommended.
