About The Perfect Marriage
Sarah Morgan is the best criminal lawyer in Washington, D.C. She was named partner before the age of 35. Her life is going as she planned. However, that’s not the case for her husband. He’s a failed author who has grown to resent his wife. For almost two years, he’s been having an affair with another woman.
When his mistress is found dead in his bed, Sarah’s husband, Adam, is suspected of murder, and Sarah is thrown into defending him.
What I thought
I have mixed feelings about The Perfect Marriage. The plot sounds really good and is what ultimately made me want to read the story. The cover was honestly a plus, too. I know I’ve said it plenty of times before, but if you’re new here, then I will say it again. I’m a very visual person, so the covers of books are what always grab my attention from the start. The Perfect Marriage is no different.
I think it helped that the book has been increasing in popularity lately. I have to say that the ending kind of pissed me off which says a lot. Not many books evoke a lot out of me like this one did. But with that being said, I kind of feel like the story was a bit boring, and the ending was its saving grace.
Maybe who-done-it type of thrillers just aren’t for me. I love being able to try and guess who did what, but after so long, it gets kind of old. I understand there wouldn’t be much of a story if it wasn’t dragged out a bit, but I guess I wish there was more to the storyline.
Adam and Sarah’s assistants are probably some of the most annoying characters in the story. Adam is too whiny in the story. I mean, I get it, but I don’t want to read from a whiny character’s perspective. Plus, Adam is a very dumb character and makes a lot of stupid mistakes. I know that being in a situation like this, we don’t know exactly how we will handle things like this. But seriously, Adam just dug his own grave. The assistant was just a kiss ass.
