When the police came to question her husband in relation to a murder, Beth Hardcastle’s reaction is one of shock and confusion: how could they possibly believe that her Tom, the perfect husband and father, would have anything to do with it? The blog is here to share our love of books and the bookish world, alongside our other passions in life. The author was clever with her misdirection here and in how she dribbled out the clues and then hit you with the killer twist.Eventually, he arrives through the door and is greeted by detectives; he looks terrified and they inform him that they think he may be able to assist them with a murder inquiry. As the interrogation begins, Beth will find herself questioning everything she believed about her husband.

Paramount+ reveals first look at The Serial Killer’s Wife

His loyal wife Beth does anything to protect their daughter but small townies don’t stop gossiping: how cannot she know what kind of monster she’s been married for 8 years! That is until one day when Tom is late home from work and just as Beth is starting to worry there is a Knock on the door and to her surprise two police officers are asking about Tom. I requested this book from NetGalley based on the cover blurb and the fact it was getting high ratings and I’m sorry to say it just wasn’t for me. The chapters were short and reasonably well paced, with a few nice surprises thrown in during the conclusion. From there things go downhill for the family as Beth tried to figure out the truth while trying to shield her daughter from damage.Tom is taken away for questioning at Banbury station before being released and then the following day is shockingly arrested for being involved in the disappearance and probable murder of his ex-girlfriend Katie Williams 8 years ago.

Especially BDSM parts of the book and the narration parts explain the killer’s instinct, the motivation and the thirst of committing crimes are blood freezing, terrifyingly bleak but also realistic! I had to take some deep breathes to read some of these chapters as the relationship between Tom and Katie developed. I chose to read this book with a group of online readers on Facebook as part of a readalong and because I love anything to do with Serial Killers and unrealiable narrators, I knew this would be a good one.Yet, Beth also wants to break free from Tom and it is gradually revealed that she is more complicit than we realised.

The Serial Killer’s Wife by Alice Hunter | Goodreads

And the unknown narrator who is forced to have BDSM kind of sexual relationship with a man: we’re not sure it’s Tom! Initially, she does not believe the accusations and intends to protect her daughter from police developments. For those unfamiliar with the plot of the book; imagine your favourite whodunnit set in a picture-perfect, sleepy English town and that's pretty much the premise of The Serial Killer's Wife. We had multiple POVs from Beth, her husband, Katie the ex-girlfriend, and one other mystery character, and were introduced to friends, but none of them felt like real people to me. Apart from the starry ensemble, the series also features underdogs, including Angela Griffin who is previously known for her roles in Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, Crime: The Suspect and is on set to portray DI Aline Edgeworth, a relentless truth-seeker unafraid of the consequences.What a belting good story it is as it is told between a triangle of the central cast of players, Beth, Tom and the missing girl Katie. The story unfolds mostly from the POV of Beth as she questions what she does, and doesn’t know about her husband, while trying to protect their 3 year old daughter, Poppy, and keep her ceramic and baked goods cafe afloat. A seriously gripping and gruesome thriller is coming to the small screen this autumn, and it’s one to add to the top of your watch list immediately. The plot was engaging, the characters strong and fascinating, and I did not see that twist there in the end. While waiting for the series release, you can also watch Valeria Mazza Documentary on Paramount Plus.
