A completely gripping psychological thriller packed with suspense

Perfect boyfriend. Perfect liar. Perfect killer?

Her

I am on my way home, thinking only of the quiet, happy evening to come, when I see something completely impossible, and my heart stops dead. I would recognise those gorgeous pale blue eyes anywhere. It’s him. The high-school boyfriend I adored… Until the day he vanished without a trace.

I run towards him, my pulse racing. He turns, politely, a puzzled look on that familiar face. ‘I’m sorry,’ he says. ‘Do I know you?’

I need answers. I’m certain he’s lying. I just have to prove it.

Him

Of course you recognised me. Always so keen, always trying to do right by everyone.

It’s typical of my bad luck that we happened to run into each other.

I left this place for a reason–one you never knew. And now I’m back, I have plans.

And I’m afraid, my dear, that you’re getting in my way…

A completely gripping story of betrayal, lies and secrets that will have you open-mouthed at the twists. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn.

I was completely hooked from the first chapter till the he last. This is just my kind of book. A phycological thriller/domestic drama. With well developed characters that I cared about and great narration it flows smoothly.

Absolutely great!

Let me preface this by telling you I am a huge fan of SE Lynes.
That said this story was interesting,
However the first 4 hours were very slow and repetitive. Looking for Joan could have been half of that time. Over and over the same thing and nothing happened.
Now after that torture the story moved to a fact pace was interesting snd tied the story up nicely.

The slow progress of the first 4 hours

… S.E. Lynes and Tamsin Kennard deliver one of my most anticipated listens. I love my British mysteries and for good reason. The perfectly paired Lynes and Kennard join forces again to bring us yet another brilliant thriller. “The Perfect Boyfriend” is captivating and wicked; it had me hooked from the very start. Lynes precisely interweaves twisty turns and jaw-dropping surprises throughout that had me shouting out loud to Alexa. Kennard's pitch-perfect vocals add depth and emotion to the narrative, making it difficult to take any kind of a break. It all begins with a chance encounter between two former high school sweethearts. But as they reconnect, it becomes clear that something is off. Puzzling behavior and the determination to uncover the truth set off a chain of events that had me nervously and anxiously listening. With its intricate subplots, oddly relatable characters and proficient narration, "The Perfect Boyfriend" is a must-have. I’m telling ya, there isn’t one dull moment. Lynes and Kennard have once again proven themselves to be a winning team, delivering a unique and memorable listening experience. I’ve accumulated quite a vast collection of books by these two exquisitely talented women and I’m always on the lookout for more. Epic, indeed!

I truly enjoy this author, but this book was just bad. There is absolutely no mystery. Everything is phoned in since the beginning. The main character is just there asking id 2 plus 2 is 4 the entire time. The surrounding characters seem brain dead or completely uncaring towards her. Semi spoiler:

Weirdly, one character is female but the author wants you to believe it is a male. then the big reveal at the end, like anybody cares. even though, it kinda explains the complete lack of protective instinct

The amazing narrator saved this book.
