The Perfect Wife is a sci-fi thriller that keeps the reader's attention. The storyline is unpredictable (especially the twist at the end!), but I didn't connect with Abbie, the protagonist, in the way I wanted to. I wish that the author had given us more information about her at the beginning of the novel, rather than leave details out in an attempt to create suspense. If you are looking for a similar type of book, I would recommend checking out John Marrs' work. I personally think that he is a better author in all aspects.
