The Perfect Family
The Perfect Family | Samantha King
10 posts | 7 read | 13 to read
Relentlessly twisting, Samantha Kings debut novel is a dark and brilliant slice of psychological suspense in which even the happiest family can awake to a nightmare . . . Maddie Castle is broken. Ever since the tragedy that struck on her twins tenth birthday, shes been trying to fit the pieces together, to get back to the life she led before. Maddie, her husband, Dom, and their children, Aidan and Annabel, lived in a comfortable home on a quiet street in a London suburb. Life was busy and satisfying. They were happy. Werent they? Now, a disoriented and grieving Maddie floats like a ghost through each day, hardly sleeping, eating, or speaking. Its easier to stay locked in her own head than to torment herself by reliving what happened. And yet, the harder Maddie tries to pin down her memories, the more they slip out of reach. Is her guilt and remorse justified? Is it Maddies fault that everything was ripped apart? Or could it be that the real terror is still to come? A beautifully written, chilling psychological thriller. Taut, tense and very clever with twists I didn't see coming. --Claire Douglas, Sunday Times bestselling author A completely gripping psychological suspense that had me glued to the pages and rushing through to the end. It's an edge-of-your-seat kind of read that you can't put down until it's done. --Jenny Oliver

@erzascarletbookgasm Wow, I actually had a lot of houses on book covers #ISpy

I‘ve actually read 3 out of the 5 (not the tagged book)

If we want to keep going, I‘m going to tag my #LMPBC group to find books with animals on the cover. @mrsmarch @UnidragonFrag @Geenie

erzascarletbookgasm Nice! 👏 I haven‘t read any of these though! 5y

On the commuter rail on our way to Boston to see the Blue Man Group this afternoon.

I had to find a book that would fit in my smaller purse because the theater probably doesn‘t allow the size purse I usually carry around to fit my books! 😂

Just started this book. I had bought this book because of the cover, but it‘s pretty intense so far!

Happy Saturday!

A mind-blowing exploration of what happens when your brain tries to shield you from the unimaginable. It‘s a suspenseful and twisty ride through a mine field of emotions. I could not put this down. A brilliant debut novel from a formidable talent. #NetGalley

A debut novel from Samantha King that was so utterly brilliant I was devastated to finish it. I‘m not one to read ‘random‘ books but I picked this up when shopping for a different book and I bought it thinking it sounded brilliant. Very rarely do I give 5 star reviews, but if I could give the read more that 5 stars, I absolutely would.
A must read for anyone looking for a gripping thriller!

Can‘t put this book down...how do you live with yourself after being told to choose between you‘re twins as to which should live and which to die? Really tense read! “Just because you love someone doesn‘t mean you‘re supposed to be with them”

One chapter in I thought I had figured out the ending of this book and was a bit disappointed that it was predictable. However, I pressed on and was pleasantly surprised to find out I was wrong. I did end up picking the ending before I got there but not as early as I originally thought. I still enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it.
