The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler

Awful. A GCSE English student could have written better than this. The dialogue was so immature, the plot was so contrived and the characters were dumb AF.
Gemma's husband goes missing, and she reports it to the police. They have just moved from London to Bristol. The police are investigating 2 murders in Bristol and when they see a picture of Danny (the husband) they instantly link the murders as they all look the same and have been registered to some dating app. Then quickly they assume that Gemma is responsible for his disappearance as nobody has seen him since they moved to Bristol.
There's a few ridiculous red herrings (wtf was the old homeless guy plot point for) and then the police find Danny who's been hiding out. He goes on the run, finds Gemma, and admits to murdering all these people that look like him because they look like his abusive father! Utterly ridiculous. The police were made to be so stupid, following ridiculous leads and not doing any investigative work. They had mini side stories which I assume was supposed to build their back story but it added nothing and I lost track of who everyone was.
This was some of the most amateur writing I've read in a long time.
