MY LOVELY WIFE
Samantha Downing (Michael Joseph)
Sometimes, what happens behind locked doors and closed curtains between a man and his wife are beyond comprehension. And then, sometimes, it is beyond comprehension to those behind the doors and windows too. So, when a serial killer haunts the streets of a small American town, who’s to say who’s guilty, and who’s innocent, and who’s just playing games? In My Lovely Wife, something nasty lurks behind a white picket fence as Millicent and her unnamed husband dance a deadly waltz that can only end in tears. This is one that grips from the get-go and doesn’t let go. A perfect read for the summer holidays, but don’t turn your back on the other half and the kids. Who knows what surprises they might have in store for you? words Mark Timlin
