His Perfect Wife

A Novel

By: Natasha Bell

Narrated by: Katharine Lee McEwan

His Perfect Wife proves how unknowable those closest to us can be.

“This smart, mirror maze of a thriller bristles with sharp edges, twisting familiar Gone Girl themes into Bell’s own intense creation.”—Kirkus Reviews

Before she disappeared, Alexandra Southwood lived an average, happy life: devoted to the care and upkeep of her husband, Marc, and their two beautiful daughters. But now, held in a room against her will, Alexandra is forced to imagine how her family is coping in the wake of her disappearance. She finds solace in memories of their past, recalling her courtship with Marc and their marriage—all that he saved her from, all that she’s lost.

Marc’s pain is visceral. He thinks of nothing but Alexandra. Even when the police discover her bloody belongings, he cannot accept that she is gone. Marc is the only one who believes she’s still alive, and he channels his pain into action, embarking on his own journey to find his wife, one that will lead him to discover answers to questions he never wanted to ask.

thrilling

This was a very exquisite book I loved every moment of and I thought Lake I knew exactly what the Indian was going to be I was waiting for it to come in wow and in was worth the reading the whole book instead of deciding the fate that I thought I had in mind was well worth the read or listen I should say

Great story line

Hard to get In to once I got the plot omg this was a great story I believe it’s a true story

Couldn't figure it out!

I was tethered to this book from beginning to end. I could not stop listening and I was shocked at the ending. It is nothing that I saw coming. A must read for avid thrill seekers!

Painful

I cannot believe I managed to listen to the whole book. It wa way too drawn it.

Excellent

I couldn’t stop listening to this book. So real that I found myself questioning the possibility of this being a biography or a piece of fiction at times. I must read! (Especially for female artists like myself.)
