Product Information

Through these books, readers have encountered cheating spouses, duplicitous best friends, drinking problems, neighbors with hidden agendas—but they’ve never encountered anything quite like Millicent and her husband, the demented couple at the heart of Samantha Downing’s debut suspense novel, MY LOVELY WIFE. For all this book’s murderous schemes, the vast majority of its violence takes place off the page - a quality which I consider an asset in this particular case. In today’s blog post, I’m recapping my experience at Iceland Noir 2022, including a day-by-day recap of the festival, lots of photos, a rundown of the books I took home from the festival, and more!

But okay, let's just accept that she's not that kind of person, the ending bothered me because the first half really did have promise but then Sebold threw me into an unexpected (and unwelcome) supernatural spin. It’s easy to love a character like this, a husband thoroughly devoted to his partner and determined to craft a good life for his family.In MY LOVELY WIFE, Downing pushes the domestic suspense novel to its limits—and the result is a hugely entertaining, seriously sinister suspense read. Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource.

Susie merely longs for something she misses from earth, and it appears, except, of course, the living.

In fact, I actually wanted to take away a star from my rating because… I didn’t get what I wanted for a long, long time.But I have to say that this book is right up my alley, I enjoy books when people die and get a chance to relive their last day to make things right, where they are still there and watch their families. Smith meets Dexter,” Samantha Downing’s deliciously dark debut crime novel MY LOVELY WIFE follows a married couple with a unique way of keeping the spark in their relationship alive… serial murder. Clouds of Witness – The fiancé of Lord Peter Wimsey’s sister, Mary, is found dead outside the conservatory of the Wimsey family’s shooting lodge in Yorkshire. Through out the book you can see how difficult it was for him to realize and begin to let go of the fact that his first born had been killed.

You would think, at this point, that you wouldn't be able to read further, that you'd close the book and never reopen it. Unfortunately, Sebold managed to bleach out anything remotely interesting out of the plot in spectacular fashion. Just cuz I thought it was a total modern classic, don't mean anything if it really ain't your thing. Downing throws out tired genre cliches in favor of a razor-sharp, genuinely shocking story of love’s (very) dark side.It’s truly deep, compelling, unconventional and disturbing story but at least the ending was relieving, more hopeful and taking the emotional pressure out from your chest. Crime by the Box will deliver a hand-selected, newly-released hardcover mystery, thriller, or suspense novel right to your door on a monthly basis. Susie's dad becomes obsessed with proving he's not crazy, that he's certain who killed his daughter.
