Join Abertillery Book Club for their next Book Club meet up to discuss The Serial Killer’s Wife by Alice Hunter!
They’re saying he’s a monster. And they’re saying she knew.
The Serial Killer's Wife is the addictive bestselling crime thriller and debut novel from Alice Hunter, which has been adapted into a TV series for Paramount+
‘The steadily unfurling plot … kept me hooked. The final double twist, too, is well worth waiting for.’ ~ My Weekly
‘This book hooks you in to the drama straight away and does not let you go, even on the last page. Brilliant.’ ~ The Sun
‘Top end crime fiction, beautifully written and totally mesmerising.’ ~ Amanda Robson
‘A gripping story of secrets, manipulation and power in a quiet Cotswolds village. Terrific!’ ~ Mick Finlay
Copies of the book are available to borrow from the library.
