Abbie Cullen-Scott has been missing for almost five years. One day she left the beach house her husband gifted her for their wedding and was never seen again. Until now. Abbie wakes up and she is with her husband, a Silicon Valley tech genius, but she is disorientated. Her memories are not as complete at she thought they should be. Their son's Autism has progressed to a point where he can barely function in a normal world. As the days after she awakens pass, she starts to realize that there is more to her story than she knows. She starts to recognize defects in her marriage and she really starts to question if her husband has been telling her the truth.
I want to be very careful to not give anything away. None of the official blurbs I have seen have given away the details, so I will not either. Not in this post, anyway. I will just say that this is the second book that I have read by JP Delaney and both have had a terrifying technology aspect. At first, Tim seemed like the perfect husband, but as more memories come back to Abbie, you realize that he is a control freak who demands perfection. From his staff, from his wife, and from his son. I don't know much about Artificial Intelligence, but I think it is safe that the reader has to suspend disbelief. If you are willing to do that, then you are in for one heck of a ride with the kind of outcome you can really cheer about. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - To say that The Perfect Wife is just a psychological thriller is not giving the book justice. It is also a book about relationships, marriage, and how do you make things work when your life does not turn out to be perfect.
