About the Book
"My Perfect Marriage" by A.J. Campbell
My husband is accused of killing my best friend. Can I trust anything he says?
It feels like all the air has been knocked out of me. My best friend is dead, killed at her own daughter's birthday party. All I want to do is run into my husband's loving arms. But he's in handcuffs, covered in her blood. His voice quivers, almost sobbing as officers put him in the police car. 'You don't think I did this, do you? I was trying to save her.'
At first, I'm sure he couldn't have done it. The man I love wouldn't hurt anyone. But as I try to prove that he didn't murder Lucy, secrets begin unravelling…
It starts with the messages between the two of them. Initially, they seem innocent enough. But the more I look, the more I become convinced they were having an affair. Then I find out about his divorce lawyer…
Suddenly my whole life feels like a lie. If he was hiding his plan to leave me for Lucy, can I believe his protests that he is innocent? And if he really did murder his lover, what else is he capable of?
My Review
At a birthday party for her best friend Lucy's daughter, Ashley Morgan feels uncomfortable when Lucy all but ignores her and focuses all of her attention on Ashley's husband Danny instead. She tries to tell herself it means nothing. After all, Lucy and Danny grew up together and are lifelong friends. Plus, Lucy and her husband's company works closely with Blue Banana Studios, Ashley and Danny's marketing firm. They're discussing business, she's almost sure of it. But when Lucy is found bludgeoned to death with a hammer and Danny's caught holding the murder weapon, Ashley starts to wonder what was really going on between them. The police do too.
Initially, Ashley believes in her husband's innocence as strongly as she does their marriage. It breaks her heart to see him hauled off for questioning. But as she sits in their office that night to handle some work, she stumbles upon a note on his desk from a flirtatious woman dubbed "L", as well as an appointment with a divorce lawyer. Suspecting that he's having an affair, Ashley digs deeper to uncover even more that he's been hiding about his life -- and their business. She can't believe her eyes. The man who she believed was a loving, trustworthy husband is nothing but a liar. It makes her doubt his innocence as well as his fidelity. Yet, Danny swears he didn't kill Lucy, and his explanations actually make sense. But if he didn't, who did? Ashley thinks she knows... and worries that she's next.
Uber intense, pulse-pounding, and completely engrossing, "My Perfect Marriage" by A.J. Campbell tops the list of the books you must read in 2024. There aren't enough glowing adjectives, OMG's, or swear words in existence to emphasize how gripping, suspense-filled, enthralling, and completely amazing it is. There aren't many books I dub one-sitting reads, but this is one of them!
"My Perfect Marriage" has everything that makes good books... well... good. It has likeable characters such as Ashley and her sister Susie, as well as unlikeable characters such as Danny. It also has those characters you can't help but suspect of something nefarious like Danny's brother Tom or Lucy's husband Lee. In addition, it also has the seemingly prerequisite prologue that grabs your attention and leaves you a little confused, trying to figure out what's going on. It's the perfect hook to get you to keep reading.
But where there are some novels in this genre that are a little formulaic (small twists, rising tension, big twist, shocking reveal), "My Perfect Marriage" is anything but. In fact, this book blows any such formula to smithereens. It doesn't wait until the end of the book to blow your mind. Not at all. In fact, the first big, startling twist happens early -- by the fourth chapter -- and launches you on an adrenaline-filled rollercoaster ride through the rest of the book. It has your heart-racing and your mind spinning as you zip through the pages and all the twists that follow, leading you to a final large twist and a phenomenal, explosive ending.
"My Perfect Marriage" is one of those books I wish I could erase from my memory, so I could read it again for the first time. It's one heck of a great book.
