This was the first book I read by this author and it definitely won’t be my last!
This psychological thriller tells a tale as old as time , but with enough twists to make your head spin!
Paige starts to notice changes in her husband, Aaron’s behavior, and as she suspected he was having an affair with his co-worker, Cara. To make matters worse Cara relishes in knowing Paige is aware of their affair and isn’t apologetic at all. Then… Cara goes missing and so begins the complex web of lies, secrets, and events that these and many other characters that come into the story begin to weave! This book kept me reading and needing answers. This story has suspense, intrigue, and jaw dropping revelations from anyone and everyone.
One critique I do have is there are a lot of characters introduced and they all are intertwined and play a role. This was quite confusing at times and I found myself having to stop and reference back to who they all were.
Howevvvvveeeer the ending/epilogue did not disappoint and left me shocked but also silently applauding things I never saw coming !

Thank you to the author, Netgalley, and Storm Publishing for the ARC of this book!!

When Paige Nichols meets her husband’s glamorous new colleague at a faculty mixer, she instantly knows they’re having an affair. It’s the way he looks at her, like she’s the only woman in the world. Aaron used to look at her like that, too. And with her beautiful, knowing smile, Cara Morton seems to enjoy flaunting their romance right under her nose.

All of these characters are awful people. It was hard for me to get through this because of how much I hated the characters. But the mystery was good and the plot twists were well-earned.

Ooh, this was great! Paige and her husband are having some issues in their marriage. His head is turned by a work colleague Cara. Paige finds out and then Cara goes missing.
This storyline is strong and intriguing, A little slow the first couple of chapters but then it ramps up and there are lots of twists and turns.
There are a lot of different characters that all have their place in the story but it did get a little confusing at times. Overall a fab read

Thanks to NetGallery and Storm Publishing for this eArc in exchange for a review.


I'd never read anything by this author before and was pleasantly surprised by all the twists and turns throughout the book. I thought it started out a little slow hard to get into but by the middle I didn't want to put it down! Definitely thought I figured out how it was going to end a few times but wasn't correct!

Aaron gets promoted to the “head of the local university” while his wife Paige quits her job on the same day. Cara Morton also is working at the university and starts coming on to Aaron at the local bar. Aaron seeking to fill his fantasy’s starts an affair with Cara and lying to his wife on his whereabouts. Soon all goes south and Aaron’s wife Paige discovers the affair and Cara ends up missing making Aaron the prime suspect. This story is told by two points of view in two time periods. What secrets will be revealed and is Paige the loving, doting wife she portrays?

This book kept be hooked from the beginning. Excellent story line and great ending! Five stars!! Will read more from Angela Henry

Thank you to NetGalley, Angela Henry, and Storm Publishing for an ARC copy of "The Perfect Marriage".

"The Perfect Marriage" is a psychological thriller that delves into the complexities of relationships, trust, and the consequences of secrets.

Paige Nichols suspects her husband Aaron of having an affair with a colleague named Cara Morton. The tension is heightened when Cara makes a serious accusation against Aaron and then disappears.

I loved this book and it was so hard to put down! I was hooked from the first page and it kept me guessing until the very end. As additional secrets unravel, so do the unexpected twists and turns in the story.

This was my first book by Angela Henry and it definitely won't be my last! I highly recommend adding this to your must-read list!

Thank you Netgalley - really enjoyed this book - good psychological thriller - kept me gripped to the end

A steamy affair - a missing wife - lots of twists & turns

Well worth a read - I would recommend

This was a psychological thriller that came with a lot of drama. Aaron and Cara were having a steamy affair and shortly after it ends Cara is reported missing and Aaron is accused of being involved. This book had me on the edge- I will say the end got a little complicated and confusing. I think there were a few too many characters

When Aaron starts an affair with a colleague he could not anticipate what trouble would ensue. As the book progresses more and more secrets are revealed and there are twists and turns throughout.
The storyline kept me engaged throughout and kept me guessing too.
An enjoyable read.

This is such a great domestic thriller, and it kept me guessing until the very end. At about 1/3 of the way into it, I thought it was pretty clear cut on what was happening who “did it”, who you could trust, etc, but I was SO wrong! The back and forth view points were really interesting and added another layer to the book, showing the husband’s and wife’s POV along with the mistress at times. There were so many different layers to this book that I really didn’t predict that were woven together so well at the end. I was honestly really surprised and impressed with this book. Anyone who enjoyed The Perfect Marriage or The Wife Between Us would really like this book!

This book just didn't grip me at all, I was hoping to get more into it as I went along,i read till the end but just not for me.Hope others enjoy.
Thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC.

Lemme tell you what I think about this book. Firstly, it was instantly gripping. I mean gripping to the point where I just could not put it down. It was a highly entertaining and dark psychological thriller, that left me second guessing everything. The writing style flowed well, and overall had a pretty damn good pacing.

The storyline itself was pretty intriguing, however I did feel quite overwhelmed by the sheer amount of characters within this book. At times it did feel hard to follow, and I wasn’t really able to connect with many of them.

The twists in this book where good, but where especially enjoyable in the last third of the book. I did feel like I predicted what was going to happen, however was surely proven wrong!

Recommend this book for fans of psychological thrillers!

Book description sounded very good but I couldnt get into the story. Sadly this one wasnt for me but I am sure others would love it

Gripping, suspenseful, emotional, & so many twists.

This is the first book I have read by this author. You instantly get sucked in by page one. The book goes back & forth from the past to the present. Changes POVs, but has whose POV & date at the beginning of each chapter. It was confusing at times with all the time jumping. There was a lot to remember with the going back & forth so much. It isn't a book you can put down & pick up at a later date. The ending was decent. Wasn't quite as I expected it to end.

Overall it's a quick read & riveting.

found myself constantly surprised by the plot twists; the book was so gripping that I couldn't stop turning the pages.

Obsession, manipulation and lies are the order of the day in this brilliant book.

Angela Henry has crafted an intricate plot with plenty of twists and red herrings, which kept me reading and in fact, I finished the book in an evening!

The story is told from the POV of Paige and her husband Aaron, with the timeline switching between the time before and after the disappearance of Aaron’s former mistress, Dr Cara Morton. We also get an insight into Cara’s childhood.

The characterisation was excellent with every character having a key part in the story; no boring or irrelevant fillers, just a fast paced and gripping story that kept me guessing.

4.5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Angela He et and Storm, for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Let me just say, every time I thought I figured out what was going on, I was wrong! The book had me flipping the pages I couldn't put it down. There were some parts in the middle that felt a little too unrealistic for me and some parts seemed to drag a little, but the ending was great. It was a great psychological thriller overall.

This book was not really for me,the writing was good but I found it a bit confusing and didn’t really have an interest in all the faculty talk,I did however like the idea of the character going and buying the contents of lock ups etc,that was fascinating….as say well written and some goof twists

This was a suspenseful journey through the complexities of relationships, secrets and the consequences of desire. Our FMC Paige finds herself caught in a web of doubt and intrigue when she suspects that her husband is having an affair with the glamorous Cara Morton. You can feel the tension that Paige is going through and the emotions that she is experiencing after discovering her husband's possible infidelity. Then a bombshell accusation is dropped concerning her husband and threatens his professional life but Paige remains steadfast by his side.

The exploration of secrets within a marriage, coupled with the questions of whether her husband is capable of murder, adds a gripping element to the narrative. This was hard to put down because I was so invested in the story that I had to know what happened next.

4/5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!
