Criminal profiler in training (and newlywed) Jessie Hunt, 29, discovers that dark secrets lurk in her new suburban town; when a body turns up dead, she finds herself caught in the crosshairs of her newfound friends, her husband’s secrets, her serial killer caseload—and the secrets of her own dark past.
In THE PERFECT WIFE (A Jessie Hunt Psychological Suspense Thriller—Book One), Criminal … Criminal profiler-in-training Jessie Hunt is sure she’s finally put the darkness of her childhood behind her. She and her husband, Kyle, just moved from a cramped downtown Los Angeles apartment into a Westport Beach mansion. Kyle’s promotion has them swimming in money. And Jessie is on the verge of getting her Master’s degree in forensic psychology, the last step in her dream of becoming a criminal profiler.
But soon after their arrival, Jessie begins to notice a series of strange developments. The neighbors—and their au pairs—all seem to be hiding secrets. The mysterious yacht club Kyle is desperate to join is rife with cheating spouses, and with troubling rules of its own. And the notorious serial killer being held at the psychiatric hospital where Jessie is completing her degree seems to know more about her life than is normal—or safe.
As her world starts to unravel, Jessie begins to question everything around her—including her own sanity. Has she truly uncovered a disturbing conspiracy buried within a sunny, wealthy Southern California beach town? Does the mass murderer she’s studying really somehow know the origin of her private nightmares?
Or has her tortured past finally come back to claim her?

This book just made me happy! Reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs with its own style.
Amateurish, author has pregnant heroine but clearly has never had any experience with pregnancy. She is also supposed to be doing a psychology practicum but what is described has no grounding in reality. I read half way through and gave up.
A very solid effort — interesting and well-written. I’m looking forward to reading more of this author’s work.
Is having the ability to understand serial killers a blessing or a curse? For Jessie Hunt, it’s both. Thrilling and fun and dark.
Not what I expected at all.
I love this book and am reading many other of this author’s books. Such a great read.
Good
One of my favorite authors
I liked this book. It made me want to keep reading.
Great read.
I love all of Blake Pierce’s books, this series did not disappoint!
Great original story that twists and turns to the very end.
I could not put this book down. This book is part of a series, so the ending of the book leaves some unanswered questions. I am looking forward to the other books in this series.
I really enjoyed this book. I’ve read many, many of Blake’s books and this one is just a great as the rest. I especially like the last page. What a twist!! Moving onto the next book in this series that.
A outstanding book!
This is a great book which is the beginning of a great series I am sure. I love the main character. I loved the plot. There is so many twists and turns that go on that kept me so entertained. The author really lets you feel what is going on in so many twisted minds too. I am going to enjoy more from this author’s work for sure!!
Wow.. honestly, that’s all I can say. I’ve never read a thriller before, my genres usually stay within young adult and romance/erotica, but I’m so happy I gave this book a chance. It was so well-written and thought out. I honestly think this is my favourite book now. It was so entertaining and enthralling, I read it within a day or two. I just couldn’t put it down. Fantastic.
I’ve read the first two of this series. Great read. I really liked the character.
Can’t wait for#2
Good book – keeps you on your toes !
