Description by Author:
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?
