The Perfect Marriage

A Novel

By: Adam Mitzner

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

The price of true love is betrayal, suspicion, and murder in a thriller of twisting suspense by the Amazon Charts best-selling author of The Best Friend.

James and Jessica Sommers are celebrating their first blissful year together, an unexpected second chance at true love. Unfortunately, their newfound shot at happiness is not without collateral damage.

There’s Jessica’s ex-husband. He pretends for all the world that he’s resilient and strong. If only for the sake of their teenage son, profoundly vulnerable in his own way. James’ ex has taken a different road. Bitter, vengeful, and threatening, she wants only the worst for the happy couple. And then there’s the couple themselves: Are they truly as in love as they seem?

When James enters into an extraordinarily profitable if shady transaction with a beautiful art dealer, Jessica and James’ seemingly perfect marriage takes a dark and tragic turn.

Amid suspicions, tested loyalties, revenge, and guilt, no one escapes unscathed from sins committed in the name of love.

Disappointing

Great author so this was not up to his usual abilities. The ending was obvious and very abrupt. Save your credit for another novel.

Holds your attention throughout

Sheesh, what a real who dunnit. This book captures your attention from the very beginning and is laced with several twists and turns all the way up to the end. This is definitely one of those books that will have you saying "just one more page".

solid story

The story was somewhat a typical, however I did enjoy it. It had several twists and turns that kept it interesting along the way. I also enjoyed being educated on the law as well as some medical education.

Anticlimactic

NO SPOILERS!
I was looking forward to another Adam Mitzner book but this one was quite dull and normally I enjoy his legal thrillers. The characters were underdeveloped and I didn’t really develop any feelings for them. This made the outcome anticlimactic for me. The narrator was decent.

Overall there wasn’t enough thrills. I would say 95% drama and 5% courtroom scenes in this one.

Predictable ending

For the length of this book, I was hoping for a better ending. It started great, and even after the climax I expected it to be a twisted road to the end. But it was predictable and the ending, meh.
