This took a couple of chapters to get into. Probably because the prologue and first chapter were two completely different crimes. But that made me more intrigued to find out how they connected.

But by halfway that crime in the first chapters were barely mentioned again. I don’t even remember if we find out who did it. If we do it clearly didn’t mean much.

I had no problem staying interested in this. Although this is the type of book that feels like it takes forever to get through. Even though it only took me two days to read. It could just be me but it felt slow.

I knew early on this was going to be an average read. I’ve read better and I’ve read worse.

One issue I had, which is just personal preference, is I don’t care about the detectives personal lives. I’m reading the book for the crime. To figure out who did it, why they did it. How it happened and was solved. The detective lives aren’t important to me. Especially since a lot of the time is just pointless relationship drama.

I was surprised that my one theory ended up being correct. At first it was just a guess but as I got through the book it made more and more sense. The character knowledge fit the injuries of the victims.

I’m still unsure why the book is called The Silent Wife. Did I miss where that was explained?
