Making it ideal for your bag and commuting, this book concluded with me experiencing goose bumps of anticipation. This book definitely shows that a, seemingly, perfect husband and wife really aren’t as they appear and you really shouldn’t judge based on external appearances or take anything for granted. Set in a family home nestled in an idyllic English town, Beth Fairchild (Annabel Scholey: The Split, The Sixth Commandment) has prepared a surprise birthday party for her husband Tom (Jack Farthing: Rain Dogs, Spencer, The Lost Daughter).

The Serial Killer’s Wife by Alice Hunter | Waterstones

I can't believe Beth as a manipulative person at all, nor was there any guarantee her plan would work. Beth and Tom Hardcastle seem to have a perfect life with a happy marriage and a delightful 3y old daughter, Poppy. The author kept the pace, suspicion and tension up easily by swapping to different narrators often, short chapters with cliffhanger endings, changing of timelines and just enough information revealed at any one time. It felt so repetitive, and definitely slowed the pace of the story, sucking any potential tension out of the story.I would recommend to people looking for a twisting story with plenty of unreliable narrators with their own motives. Beth is struggling to protect her daughter against the gossips who think Beth must have known what her husband had done. Produced by Clapperboard Studios and BlackBox Multimedia, The Serial Killer’s Wife sees Andy Morgan and Mike Benson (Clapperboard) serve as EP on the series, alongside Chiara Cardoso and Giuliano Papadia (BlackBox Multimedia).

The Serial Killer’s Wife Paramount+ reveals first look at The Serial Killer’s Wife

Tom is charged with the murder of Katie Williams, his former girlfriend but he is confident that they will let him go because there can’t be a case without a body.Due to the book title, the reader assumes immediately that the story is about a woman whose husband is a serial killer, but the opening few chapters when we are introduced to Beth and Tom Hardcastle and their cute little toddler daughter Poppy are written in a way that you half hope you are wrong. The blog is here to share our love of books and the bookish world, alongside our other passions in life. His loyal wife Beth does anything to protect their daughter but small townies don’t stop gossiping: how cannot she know what kind of monster she’s been married for 8 years! Although the plot could be seen as a little predictable in some ways, as you were suspicious of the characters from the very start, I think this was the authors intention as in you knew not to trust them but you didn’t know why and that definitely takes to the final twist to all become clear. The plot was engaging, the characters strong and fascinating, and I did not see that twist there in the end.

That is until one day when Tom is late home from work and just as Beth is starting to worry there is a Knock on the door and to her surprise two police officers are asking about Tom. As I mentioned the ending had a couple of surprises, which surprised me, and it seemed to me as if the author was paving the way for a sequel, but I just wanted a bit more. There, she was part of a team offering rehabilitation programmes to men serving sentences for a wide range of offences, often working with prisoners who'd committed serious violent crimes. Oh, and we had a couple of chapters from Tom’s POV that made him sound like an ass, but certainly not an interesting or devious serial killer like I’d hoped based on the title. The Serial Killer’s Wife plot revolves around The Serial Killers Wife cast Beth Fairchild who arranges a surprise birthday party for her beloved husband, Tom, a local doctor.When The Signal was unveiled, Paramount+ also greenlit a trio of other shows for development including dystopian thriller Futuro Desierto from Argentina. The author also really gets you inside the minds of the characters, as we do read from a couple of points of view. I really liked how the author managed to keep the book interesting while also allowing you the time to play detective and try and work out what was going on.
