Standing by my husband when he didn’t stand by me.
The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose is a gripping psychological suspense novel that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. I just finished this book two days ago, and I really did enjoy the book. They are saying the perfect marriage, but it’s really not, because obviously there is some cheating involved by the husband.
Would you defend your husband if he was accused of killing his mistress?
The Perfect Marriage Summary
The Perfect Marriage book follows a married couple named Adam and Sarah. The gist of the story is that Sarah is a really good defense attorney, and Adam is a writer who’s not really having good sales.
Sarah is a hardworking woman because she has to provide for both of them, as Adam isn’t very successful at the moment.
The book literally starts off with Adam having an affair with Kelly Summers, at Adam and Sarah’s second home.
One morning everything changes as his mistress is killed in their bed. The police arrive to arrest Adam or at least to bring him into custody because the mistress was found dead.
Sarah finds herself defending her own husband, a man suspected of murdering his mistress. do you believe Adam is truly guilty of the accusations, or do you think there might be a chance he’s actually innocent?
The Perfect Marriage Book Review
The book follows the mystery of who killed the mistress. It’s so well written, and I’ve read thrillers and all that stuff, but there was something about this one that I really did enjoy.
The writing style of the author in the Perfect Marriage is not good as I expected.
Overall, I would give the book 3.5 out of 5 stars, but only because I did not enjoy the ending. I feel like once you read it, you’ll completely understand what I mean.
I still recommend reading it, though, because the rest of the book is 5 out of 5 stars. The way it’s written is just so well done, and you don’t know who the killer is. I would definitely recommend reading it.
Sarah Morgan’s character is introduced as part of a seemingly perfect couple, but it quickly turns out that Adam is a cheater, which I usually loathe.
There were many moments in the book where I found myself screaming at the pages because of Sarah’s actions. Some of her decisions left me wondering, “Why are you even doing this?” Later, it made sense, but still!

The perfect marriage ending
The Perfect Marriage, the unexpected ending shows that Sarah and Bob were behind the murder, framing Adam. This surprise appeared contradictory to several readers since the story was recounted from Sarah’s point of view, with no clues suggesting her involvement, which left many feeling caught off guard.
