The Perfect Couple – NJ Cracknell

Their life looks so perfect on the surface. But the facade is beginning to crack . . .

Nevin and Gloria both have successful careers, as well as two adorable kids and a picture-book cottage by the sea. But at forty, Nevin is experiencing some discontent. He’s a successful author, but his latest plot is not for a book . . .

As Nevin sets a plan in motion that will allow him to escape his marriage, he conspires against Gloria. But he should have thought it through a little more. Because each of them have their own agenda, and everything is about to go very wrong.

There’s no such thing as a perfect marriage—or a perfect crime . . .

My Thoughts:

The Perfect Couple is the story of Nevin and Gloria. To the outside world they seem to have it all. Successful careers, two children and a beautiful home by the sea. However the reality is quite different, as they both want to escape their marriage and will stoop to some pretty desperate measures to achieve what they really want.

With plenty of shocking reveals, a couple of clever little twists and turns, The Perfect Couple is a quick and addictive read.

I love books with unreliable narrators and I love books with utterly unlikeable and despicable characters and The Perfect Couple definitely has both of these.

If you are looking for a quick and easy read that is entertaining, amusing and despite bordering on the implausible at times, guaranteed to keep you reading just to find out what/why and who, then grab yourself a copy of The Perfect Couple by NJ Cracknell as it’s free on Kindle Unlimited or 99p on Amazon UK.
