REVIEW

My Wife the Serial Killer by H.J. Garbett

~ Death is in the details…and sometimes the details not planned perfectly can be used to catch a killer.

What I liked: * Fran: social worker, happily married to and loves Gareth, recently moved to their dream family home, had a difficult childhood, has a brother-not-brother, wants a family, is a killer

* Gareth: recently promoted to detective, working hard, trying to prove himself, difficult colleagues, wants a family, loves Fran, learns a lot about himself and develops gumption and spine by the end of the story

* Mep: rescue cat, difficult and complained about but loved by both Fran and Gareth

* Angus: Fran’s brother-not-brother, met Fran in a children’s home, a bit different, loving, supportive, a good man

* Finding out what the motivation was for Fran’s need to murder

* That the thoughts of both Fran and Gareth were shared so I knew what they were thinking and could understand their reasoning even when I didn’t go along with their choices

* Being able to smile from time to time even though the “humor” wasn’t always funny to me

* Reading a new-to-me author that created a different murder mystery for me to read

What I didn’t like: * The three men in Fran’s sites and what put them there

* The police Gareth worked with – didn’t think any of them were worth their pay

* That I couldn’t relate to any of the characters even though I did understand them to a certain degree.

Did I like this book? For the most part

Would I read more by this author? If I liked the synopsis of the story

Thank you to NetGallen and Storm Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.
