The Perfect Date

By: Julia Crouch

Many thanks to Bookouture for the ARC of this book and allowing me a stop on the book tour!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

I thought I’d found the one… But then I found him dead.

The last time I saw Harry, he was smiling at me over a candlelit table. It felt like I’d known him forever. I sipped my wine, and let myself hope for a second perfect date.

But this morning, out on a bright sunny walk, my rescue dog starts barking. I follow to see what he’s found. That’s when I see Harry’s body. His handsome face is cold and still. I back away, trembling.

It should be the worst thing that has ever happened to me. But it’s happened to me before.

The last two men I dated are dead.

I can’t tell the police I knew them both. I’d be their number one suspect.

But I need answers. Am I going mad, or is this my fault? And if I don’t find out who is doing this, will I be next?

MY REVIEW

This book was the perfect way to introduce me to this author. Crouch writes a book that is full of suspense and mystery. It is fast paced, with short chapters and it will keep you guessing until the very end. While it did start out a little slow for me, it quickly picked up and I couldn’t stop reading. There are a lot of twists and turns that you’ll never see coming!

All of the characters in this book were very distinct and each one had a part to play. It’s hard to know who to trust because it seems anyone can have a motive to kill. The plot is well thought out and the ending is cleaned up nicely, not leaving any questions about what happened. This is the type of ending I prefer!

Any thriller lover will enjoy this book, therefore I highly recommend it!

This book is available on October 6, 2023. Get it here!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Julia started off as a theatre director and playwright. While her children were growing up, she swerved into graphic design. After writing and illustrating two children’s books for an MA, she discovered that her great love was writing prose. The picture books were deemed too dark for publication, so, to save the children, she turned instead to writing for adults. Her first book, Cuckoo, was published in 2011, and she has been writing what she calls her Domestic Noir novels ever since. She also writes for TV and teaches on the Crime Writing MA at the University of East Anglia. She has three grown up children and lives in Brighton with her husband and two cats, Keith and Sandra.
