About this ebook

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!

ok, i would say tha i thought she was a dumb when she couldn't see the signs regarding her husband but also understood that her smartness can also have limits as ours have when its about our loved ones. this is one of the rare books i recommend as the ending and the whole book kept me hooked even though i have a submission on next to next day. i still finished it in a day and couldn't be more satisfied with the book. thanks a lot for gracing this world with the book which can make you forget all your worries and deadlines and your appetite as well. haha!

The plot was boring and at times very predictable but I enjoyed the main character's backstory and the quote "twist" at the end of the book. Could have been worse but also could have been better. Not too bad for a free read though.
