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?

Books #2--#24 are also available!

    Good 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 part
  • Good plot twist, disappointing to find 3 typos though.

    Good and easy read, ending was abrupt though and needed more context once we were shown that Kyle was the villain.
  • Luring Read

    I enjoy the books but they’re a cycle of the author giving a very long recap of what’s happened in each book so far, Jessie has a case, has a hunch, almost dies, the end. I’m not hating but get ready to read the same story every single novel
  • Hands down had me on edge
