The perfect couple…or the perfect lie?
A year and a half ago, Gemma met the love of her life, Danny. Since then, their relationship has been like something out of a dream. But one Friday evening, Gemma returns home to find Danny is nowhere to be seen.
After two days with no word from her husband, Gemma turns to the police. She is horrified by what she discovers – a serial killer is on the loose in Bristol. When she sees the photos of the victims she is even more stunned…they all look just like Danny.
But, the police aren’t convinced by Gemma’s story. Why has no one apart from Gemma seen or heard from Danny in weeks? Why is there barely a trace of him in their flat? Is she telling them the truth, or are there more secrets and lies in this marriage than meets the eye?

Jackie Kabler is going from strength to strength with each book she writes.
This is a story that kept throwing in mini OMG hooks to keep you turning the pages, and has me second guessing everything.
In fact the book is written from two perspectives, Gemma who is reporting her husband missing, and the police, who are already looking into two murders of men that look quite similar, and have no idea what to think when it turns out Gemma's husband also looks like the two victims.
As I was reading each point of view in alternating chapters, my thoughts as to what exactly was going on flip flopped continually. Such was how convinced I was by both viewpoints that I couldn't really work out which may be accurate.
Much less just how the murderer was or where the missing husband may be or why.
The Perfect Couple screwed with my head, in a way that had me reading on, unable to put the book down, as I needed to know the truth!
Very addictive and compelling read.
