Description
Criminal profiler in training (and newlywed) Jessie Hunt, 29, discovers that dark secrets lurk in her new suburban town; when a body turns up dead, she finds herself caught in the crosshairs of her newfound friends, her husband’s secrets, her serial killer caseload—and the secrets of her own dark past.
In THE PERFECT WIFE (A Jessie Hunt Psychological Suspense Thriller—Book One), Criminal profiler-in-training Jessie Hunt is sure she's finally put the darkness of her childhood behind her. She and her husband, Kyle, just moved from a cramped downtown Los Angeles apartment into a Westport Beach mansion. Kyle's promotion has them swimming in money. And Jessie is on the verge of getting her Master's degree in forensic psychology, the last step in her dream of becoming a criminal profiler.
But soon after their arrival, Jessie begins to notice a series of strange developments. The neighbors—and their au pairs—all seem to be hiding secrets. The mysterious yacht club Kyle is desperate to join is rife with cheating spouses, and with troubling rules of its own. And the notorious serial killer being held at the psychiatric hospital where Jessie is completing her degree seems to know more about her life than is normal—or safe.
As her world starts to unravel, Jessie begins to question everything around her—including her own sanity. Has she truly uncovered a disturbing conspiracy buried within a sunny, wealthy Southern California beach town? Does the mass murderer she's studying really somehow know the origin of her private nightmares?
Or has her tortured past finally come back to claim her?

1By Havefunn1408I’m still at the beginning but already this woman is cringe. I’m still going to give it a shot and might even change my rating and review. She claims that her husband is treating the woman wearing a bikini like a sex object? He shouldn’t be looking. That doesn’t mean he views women as a sex object though. Two things can be true. Jessica actually did the “looking at women is objectifying them” meme. Also, ironically this author seems like a creep. He’s always describing the women’s bodies in a creepy way.Excellent Twist
5By Donsgal@96I have to say , I didn’t see the end coming and I’m usually pretty good at calling the end of a book or movie. This had me captivated and I read it within a few hours!!! You won’t be disappointed in this one. Now on to #2 of this series.Surprising twist
4By AmyCSiAt first, this seems like a pretty slow paced typical crime mystery but the sharp pivot into a dark stepford wives club was wonderfully unexpected. I picked this book up on a whim because it was different from what I had been reading and it was wonderful.GREAT Thriller!

5By itried223I really enjoyed this book.Overall Good Quick Read
3By Sam-303Good overall, enjoyable, just pretty unrealistic in the last 20% with all the events unfolding. Doesn’t make a ton of sense realistically, but guess that’s the beauty of fiction. Enjoyed it for the most partGood plot twist, disappointing to find 3 typos though.
4By chayes103Good and easy read, ending was abrupt though and needed more context once we were shown that Kyle was the villain.
