Review of 'The Perfect Couple' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Fun page turner. I PERSONALLY didn't care for the ending but other than that it was really great.

The timeline jumping around got really frustrating. I kept having to go back and see what date it was on. There wasn't really a character I felt connected to. The book was long and got repetitive at times and there were a couple of plot lines that could easily have been dropped (Robin for instance) and allowed for more depth with other characters, specifically the victim.
