Introducing the next generation of domestic thriller...
Every marriage has secrets. Everyone has flaws. Your wife isn't perfect - you know that - but then again nor are you.
But now a serial killer is on the loose in your small town, preying on young women. Fear is driving your well-behaved young daughter off the rails, and you find yourself in bed late at night, looking at the woman who lies asleep beside you.
Because you thought you knew the worst about her. The truth is you know nothing at all.
PRAISE FOR MY LOVELY WIFE
"The twist at the end of the first chapter made me read through the night. Clever. Manipulative. Dark. Disturbing. What more can you ask for?"-Jane Corry, bestselling author of My Husband's Wife
"An assured and deliciously engrossing debut. You'll surely devour My Lovely Wife, but it will linger long after you've reached the last page." Sarah Pinborough, Sunday Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
"You'll never look at your neighbors the same. I couldn't pull myself away from this story...Make sure you clear your schedule before you pick it up. Absolutely unputdownable." Liv Constantine, bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish
"My Lovely Wife is a knockout. It's not just a novel about serial killers. It's family drama, about a marriage, about kids out of control, about infidelity, and about the news media; and it's also about the folks next door. It's an effortless page-turner." Publishers Weekly

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A marriage takes a murderous turn in Samantha Downing’s witty debut. When the daily routine of jobs, school, golf tournaments and soccer practice starts to wear down an unassuming suburban couple, they choose a disturbing extracurricular activity to keep things lively. Audie-winning narrator David Pittu (The Goldfinch) perfectly balances Downing’s gallows humour and the plot’s slow-burning tension. He keeps Downing’s unnamed narrator and his wife, Millicent, strangely relatable and even sympathetic. We were completely enthralled right up to the shocking climax, which made us want to Google all our neighbours.
