The Perfect Life by Valerie Keogh
5.0
Molly is finding life a bit quiet at home now that her two children are overseas attending different universities. Instead of a noisy active household there are just two adults living in the house with little more than work schedules to contemplate. She has even lost her much loved housekeeper and feels adrift, panicking as a party looms. It is at this party, hosted by Molly and Jack, where the intrigue really begins.
Up until now Molly has been fortunate enough to lead a cushioned and charmed existence but lately her relationship with husband Jack is causing her a lot of concern. Not just because of the party but a whole host of niggling questions about her husband’s behaviour.
Plagued by worry and doubts Molly does something very out of character whilst on a spa break with friend Amelia and has no idea of the trouble her actions will bring to her front door.
The story is fast paced and keeps you guessing. Just what on earth is going on and will Amelia find herself found guilty of a crime she didn’t commit?
The plot continues to bubble and thicken, and although Molly might escape being accused of something she hasn’t done, life becomes more uncomfortable and complicated. In fact it becomes downright dangerous and unpredictable.
Who can Molly trust? Anyone?
Her once seemingly golden and perfect life is unravelling dramatically as Molly finds herself swept up into a darkness that is confusing, bewildering and very far from domestic bliss. And the outcome will be deadly.
With engaging characters, credible events and a constant sense of foreboding this domestic thriller is an incredibly engaging read. I aim to read more of the author’s work, secure in the knowledge that I am going to enjoy the reading experience immensely. And for anyone who has already known the delights of Valerie Keogh’s novels, this latest offering is guaranteed to keep fans happy whilst appealing to many new readers.
