The Perfect Life by Valerie Keogh
3.0
I really enjoy Valerie Keogh’s psychological thrillers so I was looking forward to this one.
The Perfect Life is a domestic noir story focussing on Molly Chatwell whose life seems perfect. She has a nice house and job. A great husband and two kids off at university. It’s only when she starts to really look at her life that she begins to see the cracks. A chance meeting with a stranger leaves her perfect life under threat.
I always love the way that Valerie Keogh creates such realistic and flawed characters. I really felt for Molly, suffering from empty nest syndrome and her husband is less than sympathetic about it.
There’s plenty of peril for poor Molly along the way but I have to be honest I wasn’t entirely shocked by the ending.
The Perfect Life is a fast paced story with plenty of tension and intrigue, perfect for domestic noir fans.
