My Lovely Wife | 
Cecil and I are soaking up the sun and listening to the audiobook. The narrator‘s “angry sister” voice sounds like Gene Belcher from Bob‘s Burgers. 😹
Couldn't help myself yesterday at the library. My Lovely Wife, Watching You and When The Lights Go Out
panMeh. There was one bit that surprised me but in general I didn‘t care about the characters and read it kind of half bored. The writing is snappy which makes it a quick read. I don‘t often read thrillers but when I do I want to be invested and surprised and I wasn‘t at all. ⭐️⭐️
pickSo..... I started to figure this one out (which usually never happens) but it was so compulsively readable that I flew through the last half. Easily one of the best thrillers I‘ve read! And of course my favorite word...... TWISTY TWISTY 😂😂😂😂
Digging into this book before bed. I needed a break from imaginary friend, starting giving me a damn headache. Lol what‘s everyone‘s thoughts on my lovely wife. Very interesting so far🤔
pickNonononononononoyesnonononono. I couldn‘t read this book before bed and if I did, I had to watch some happy show like Lizzie McGuire (thanks Disney+). So many twists and turns. I hated it, but loved it. It was terrifyingly good. Can‘t wait to discuss with my book club.
Currently enjoying the perfect Saturday morning. ❤️
Post workout. Post breakfast. Post long hot shower. Boyfriend is at the gym. The sunshine is streaming through the windows. This thriller is bananas.
Camping and reading this weekend ❤️
Check in... not too bad so far. Reading imaginary friend, finished the merciless, possibly starting My lovey wife.. 🤔 #24b4monday
pickThis is full of twist and turns I didnt see coming.9/20 #BFC #bookfitnesschallenge #BFCr4 @wanderinglynn
pickQuick, entertaining read. I was in a reading rut, and this pulled me right out.
pickThis book was amazing! I really enjoyed all of the characters and plot was really good.
Sneaking in a few more chapters on this rainy day before I head off to work. Have a great Saturday everyone! 😊
pickThis one snatched me right out of my reading slump. I was hooked from page one 😍

This was part of the #lmpbc and I had so much fun reading the comments in the book. I am leaving the rating so so as not to influence for the next #LMPBC person on the list.
2 points - book read and participation
Side note to #lmpbc @Stacypatrice - this will go in the mail tomorrow to you. I am so sorry for it being later than I expected.
Working the night shift tonight. Spent my dinner break reading. Wasn't sure what to think about this book at first but now I'm halfway through and loving it.
#24B4MONDAY is fast approaching! Here is my line up for the #readathon. I‘ve already started My Lovely Wife so that may be finished before Friday. What‘s in your lineup for the readathon? Please join us here on Litsy, and over on FB and GR. It‘s all about getting in some extra reading and having fun. 📚 📖 🤓
pickWow!!! It is not very often women are portrayed this way in books. I thought it was a cleverly written story which kept me guessing as to how it would all turn out. I enjoyed this book
pickBoy did I have a fun time with this book! Definitely gave me Dexter vibes, so if you like that show check this out. I saw part of the plot twist early on but not enough that I wasn‘t still thrilled at the reveal! Now no more starting new books until after my exam Thursday 😅😂
pickAt first I did not like this book because I felt the writing was choppy. It just didn‘t flow for me. I don‘t know if the writing got better or I just got so invested, but I really enjoyed this book. In my head I came up with several twists, and only half guessed the correct one. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Reading My Lovely Wife and catch myself wondering if my husband would turn me in if I asked him to kill people with me? 🤔 🤔 😆
pickI spent most of this book trying to figure out the ending and anticipating the “twist”. I didn‘t figure it out but also wasn‘t surprised when it happened. I love dark twisted books and this one didn‘t disappoint! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis was tough to get into. But totally worth it in the end. It's a thriller. Read it.

Hex is in the mail to @Hestapleton and it should be there in two days (according to the post office). Also I did receive My Lovely Wife in the mail today. Yay! Thanks! 😊
pickNothing like a couple of murders to help keep the spark in your marriage alive. I have many thoughts on this but they‘d all give way too much away.
Book 8 for #14books14weeks
pickUp until about the last 80 pages I would have given this book a So-So rating. A “typical” suburban couple adds some mystery and murder to their lives. The wife is a little quirky and the husband willing to go along with her dark impulses; in fact it what holds their relationship together. Throughout the book I kept trying to figure out where it was going, but I did not expect where it wound up. A great unexpected ending that made my jaw drop!
Look what I got !!! #payitforward Thank you @Addison_Reads 💛💛 can‘t wait to read this and ship it on its way!
pickI enjoyed this! It was quick, fairly predictable, but a fun murder-mystery. A couple bored in the suburbs turn to murder to spice up their marriage...but that never goes as planned, does it??
pickLoved this audiobook! But am not 💯 on the ending...
pickHighly recommend. This is a suspense filled thriller. A family on the brink of destruction. A serial killer that needs to be caught. Where does it end? Excellent story!!
That's offensive, Josh. I prefer the term murderino.
pickA twisty & twisted tale. A suburban couple fight their marriage slump with premeditated murder. I devoured this one in two sittings. I will definitely be keeping an eye on Downing's future release!
pickLoved these dark characters, both the narrator and his "lovely" wife Millicent. This couple has some unconventional date nights... A bit slow in the middle, but the last third was a total page turner. I felt like Downing could've played up a couple of things even more than she did, but overall a really engaging thriller. I look forward to more from the author!

I have another book to send to a new home. All I ask is that you send this book on to someone else once you're finished or pick a book from your shelves to pass on.
First to comment below is the lucky winner. 😁
pickGreat murder thriller with an amazing ending that I couldn‘t put down. Get ready for a twist! Highly recommend!
pickI listened to the audiobook version. I enjoyed the narration. The storyline caught me from the start, and kept me intuition until the very end. I highly recommend this book.
pickI loved every semi-predictable moment of it! It's not perfect but I didn't care. I had to know how it would end and I didn't want to put it down. #justwhatineeded
pickI liked this book enough to send the author a Facebook note. And she responded to thank me. I highly recommend this book.
pickThis book is complex and interesting. Although we are discussing serial killers, it is not gruesome, as the book focuses on the psychology of planning and committed murders while maintaining a family life. My only complaint was that there were a lot of flashbacks that created some confusion about when the narrator was describing.
I am loving this book! I don‘t want it to end. I‘m 3/4 of the way through, I am just realizing that I do not know the Male main characters real name. One of my favorite quotes so far is “ My poker face is terrible, and I lose every hand”. Wrong hobby to have if you don‘t have a good poker face! Maybe it will get him in the end.......
Idk what it says about me that I am loving this twisted book, lol, but I am!
