In The Perfect Wife, 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?

In The Perfect Block, rookie criminal profiler Jessie Hunt, 29, picks up the pieces of her broken life and leaves suburbia to start a new life in downtown Los Angeles. But when a wealthy socialite is murdered, Jessie, assigned the case, finds herself back in the world of picture-perfect suburbia, hunting a deranged killer amidst the false facades of normalcy and sociopathic women.

An emotionally wrought psychological suspense with layered characters, small-town ambiance and heart-pounding suspense, the Jessie Hunt psychological suspense series is a riveting new series that will leave you resisting late into the night.

Terrible Narration!

If you can past the narration you just may like the book. Thank goodness the narrator was changed for the remainder of the series.

Pretty entertaining

Was pretty good. The main character is kind of insecure however.. Going to read another in the series.

Story good

The story was good but a bit predictable. I didn’t like the narrator at all. She sounded kind of like a robot.

Love the story line

The story was absolutely amazing but the narration was absolutely horrible for what this story needed!!! That is why I gave the book a 4 because of the narration. I decided to stick it through and I was glad I did!! If you can stick through the horrible narration you will love the the over all books!!

awful narrative!

so I'm only half way through this story, and it's taking a lot of effort to finish it. The storyline is okay but the narrator is TERRIBLE! it's so difficult to listen to when one character sounds exactly like the next and the tones don't match up with the emotions. I'm a huge fan of thrillers And I've heard that Blake Pierce is one of the best. So far though I'm thinking I should just stick with a regular book 🤔

Great Book Series

Very suspenseful! Great listen!! Keeps you on your toes to figure out the who and the why!! Author is amazing!

Story good, narration irritating

The most horrific accent I’ve ever heard. No one here in LA talks like that, sounded like she seriously got the accent off Joe versus the Volcano thinking that was a real LA accent instead of a parody.

predictable

unfortunately the books are predictable. How many times can Jesse continue to be put at the center of situations she didn't see coming and escape them? and of course end up wealthy as well so that her "lot in life" is truly unrelatable......eye rolling in disappointment.....

narrator's voice!

I struggled to listen through chapter 1, I couldn't get over how the narrator would end each word, almost like she was finishing a sentence.

Narrator is TERRIBLE!!!

Barely made it through the first book of 2 for 1 Credit… knew I couldn’t listen to another entire book with her horrible lack of inflection!
