5.0
{ Book Recommendation } - My Lovely Wife.
~
It's just April and I already have plenty of book recommendations to make. Ever since I can remember, I have been a significant fan of thriller genre and when I noticed raving reviews of My Lovely Wife, I just knew I had to read this. Being quite a lengthy read, this novel had me hooked from the very first page. I dived into this read without even knowing or doing much research about it. All I knew that it was a psychological thriller and that was good enough for me. ~
Millicent and her husband live in the rich suburbs with their two children. While they seem like any other family, they have couple of secrets to maintain. Their love for each other is fierce but what ignites it is something darker. They feel high and invincible when they kill innocent young women. Just when you start thinking that the husband has been forced to murder women, take a step back. While the husband kidnaps women, it's Millicent who hides and tortures them. They have done this couple of times but something goes wrong when they kill the fourth woman. Things take a sharp turn from there and it all goes awry for the Smiths.

There's a particular twist as you near the end and I could have never ever guessed it. This book is pure adrenaline rush. Something that you can't forget once you put it down. It's so captivating that you won't even mind ignoring your phone till you devour it. Samantha Downing is a genius for coming up with this plot and for executing it in a fantastic manner to keep the readers engaged. I previously loved The Silent Patient which was another psychological thriller but My Lovely Wife is one step ahead of it. If you're looking for your next thriller, look no further. These two are the best books in that category.
