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, 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?

4.5 (Muito bom)

Maldito Kyle

Eu gostei muito do livro, e por mais que em certo porto os plots sejam um pouco previsíveis, eles ainda te prendem e surpreendem um pouco. Eu imaginei que acasa deseo era algo pior e mais manipulador, mas na verdade Kyle sempre foi assim desde o início, e eu não esperava isso. Mas a parte da morte da Natalia eu já sabia que era ele, mas que esse gaslighting começou bem antes da mudança, foi um plot grande.
Eu já imaginava que o serial Killer era pai da Jessie, mas por alguma razão eu esperava que não fosse depois da cena da morte da mãe dela ( o que também me chocou), então ler "porque ele é meu pai" como a última frase do livro, ainda conseguiu me surpreender de alguma forma. Fora isso, foi uma leitura até leve, o livro é curto, e causa muitas emoções de raiva e angústia com o decorrer das cenas que vão questionando a sanidade da protagonista.
