Book Review: My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing

“Every marriage has secrets. Everyone has flaws. Your wife isn’t perfect – you know that – but then again nor are you.”

Published in 2019, My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing follows the lives of a married couple as a serial killer is on the loose in their small town, preying on young women. Fear is driving their well-behaved daughter off the rails, as both husband and wife find themselves in bed late at night, looking at the person who lies asleep beside them. Because they thought they knew the worst about each other. The truth is, they know nothing at all.

“Some lessons can be deadly…”

Published earlier this month, For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing follows Teddy Crutcher who has just won Teacher of the Year at the prestigious Belmont Academy. Everyone thinks he’s brilliant. They all smile when he tells us his wife couldn’t be more proud – though if they stopped to think about it, they would realise no one has seen her in a while. They’re impressed when he doesn’t let anything distract him – even the tragic death of a school parent. Even when the whispers start, saying it was murder.
