Fantastic read as always from this Author! I was did she? Or didn't she? The twists and turns keep you glued to the book, so much so I read it too quickly and then it was over!

My Perfect Marriage is quite the perfect story. It is fast paced, with plenty of twists and turns and had an fantastic ending that I did not see coming at all. I highly recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

A well written story with twists galore and an ending I did not expect . This is a book I would not hesitate to recommend
Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read this ARC in return for an honest review

Although it's unlike the books I typically read, "My Perfect Marriage" by A.J. Campbell is a cleverly crafted story that feels surprisingly relatable. It's a great read that many could imagine unfolding in their own lives.

My Perfect Marriage by AJ Campbell, was a outstanding book!

WoW what have I just read!!! Breath!

This book is a brilliant psychological thriller: with domestic and suspense thrown in, which will keep you on your toes.

This book had me hooked from the beginning till the very end and ended up stuck in my chair all day reading it! With small breaks to make a coffee etc.


I highly recommend this book especially as they are a new author to me and will be looking out for her books in the coming future! Brilliant!

My second book by AJ Campbell and this one certainly entertained with a fast-moving plot that kept me reading right into the night.
Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed my first outing with A.J. Campbell!
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Eilidh Beaton, and absolutely loved her narration. I couldn't stop listening, she is definitely a narrator I would happily listen to again!
The book starts with immediate tension and this fast pace continues through. There is plenty of drama to keep you reading, as Ashley finds out more about her husband and the suspicion around him escalates.
I highly recommend listening to the audiobook, I listened in 2 days.

Previously titled 'How Can I Trust You', 'My Perfect Marriage' is a perfectly decent psychological thriller.

The plot is based on a woman, Anna, who is living her best rural life with husband Danny and son, Elliot, when tragedy strikes - new best friend, Lucy, is brutally murdered at her daughter's birthday party - through Anna's narrative we experience the utter horror and devastation that comes from discovering her husband hovering over the corpse holding the murder weapon!! Yikes?! Is all as it seems?! Of course not!! Danny proclaims his innocence, but Anna finds herself exploring all avenues using her amateur detective skills before the truth is revealed in all its shocking splendour!

This is a very decent standalone thriller, maybe a little slow-burn for my tastes, but for many readers I have no doubt this will tick all the boxes!!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

Can Ashley prove that her husband, Danny, did NOT kill his best friend, Lucy? That is the premise of AJ Campbell’s latest thriller MY PERFECT MARRIAGE.

An over the top birthday party for Lucy and Lee‘s daughter ends in tragedy when Lucy is found dead in the garage and Danny is standing over her soaked in her blood and holding a hammer. Ashley is sure that Danny could not and would not ever hurt anyone. As she begins to try to prove Danny‘s innocence, she learns things about her husband that she never knew. Digging deeper she finds a hidden safe with clues about Danny‘s hidden life. What exactly has Danny been up to? And if he didn’t kill Lucy, who did?

This one kept me up well into the night, telling myself ‘just one more chapter’. The twists and turns had me feeling the pain whiplash as I stumbled along with Ashley in her investigation. I have been fortunate enough to read other AJ Campbell novels and this one did not disappoint. She has become an author that I jump at the chance to read whenever she has a new release. If you haven’t read her before, this is a good story to get you hooked on her.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC opportunity. All opinions are my own and given voluntarily.

A book filled with secrets, lies, deceit and obsession? Sign me up, buttercup!

AJ Campbell, narrates a wild ride filled with characters you will love to hate. This book is dark! I was completely consumed as soon as I concluded the first chapter. There was no shortage of twists and turns and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The twist was insane and unpredictable!

I can not wait to see what Campbell comes out with next! My Perfect Marriage, is currently free on kindle unlimited and I strongly encourage you to purchase this book! Happy reading, folks!

Check out this teaser :

My husband is accused of killing my best friend. Can I trust anything he says?

It feels like all the air has been knocked out of me. My best friend is dead, killed at her own daughter’s birthday party. All I want to do is run into my husband’s loving arms. But he’s in handcuffs, covered in her blood. His voice quivers, almost sobbing as officers put him in the police car. ‘You don’t think I did this, do you? I was trying to save her.’

At first, I’m sure he couldn’t have done it. The man I love wouldn’t hurt anyone. But as I try to prove that he didn’t murder Lucy, secrets begin unravelling…

It starts with the messages between the two of them. Initially, they seem innocent enough. But the more I look, the more I become convinced they were having an affair. Then I find out about his divorce lawyer…

Suddenly my whole life feels like a lie. If he was hiding his plan to leave me for Lucy, can I believe his protests that he is innocent? And if he really did murder his lover, what else is he capable of?

A thrilling rollercoaster of a read. Packed full of twists you don't see coming. Loved this one. Could not put it down. I very highly recommend this book and this author.

Back in June 2020, a debut author slid into my Dms and I am so glad she did. From there I feel I've gone on a wonderful journey, watching her flourish as an author. Going from strength to strength. She started off as an indie author, and is now with Bookoutre who have some amazing authors in their ranks.

She is a dab hand at writing psychological thrillers. Drawing in the reader from the start. And, taking us on a roller coaster through fhe storyline.

Four chapters in to The Perfect Marriage and I was hooked. So many questions going round in my mind.
[ ] Who's Roberta in the prologue?
[ ] How is she linked to the main characters?
[ ] Danny comes across as the boss in the relationship. Is he controlling Ashley?
[ ] Why haven't they seen Aunt Susie for a while?
[ ] Was there ever anything more between Danny and Lucy?
And then we get the ending of chapter 3 😮😱

Throughout the narrative of the story I kept flip flopping with my theories. Who did I think had done what? Who was involved in what? Ashley was a strong female character. Despite all the troubles that was going on in her life. She still kept the business going. Was strong for her little boy. And, she even managed to crack a few mysteries along the way. But, did she trust her husband? And will you as the reader trust him?

The Perfect Marriage is a perfect read for psychological thriller readers. It will keep you on your toes right to the bitter end.

Wow, I loved this book! Which is actually no surprise because I have loved AJ's books from Day 1! Her writing, characters, and plot twists have only gotten better with time, which is saying a lot because they started pretty darn good! This book, in particular, though really threw me for a loop in terms of twists. I did not see the ending coming at all! So many red herrings, plot twists, and delicious drama. Exactly what you want in a thriller! Thanks so much to the AJ, the publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC!

Have you ever worried about your significant other keeping deadly secrets from you? In this psychological thriller, you’ll read about Ashley’s fear of just that. Not wanting to believe her longtime love she’s built a family with could do anything like what he’s accused of, I was intrigued until the end to find out just how this would end!

Thank you, AJ Campbell, Bookouture, & netgalley for my early copy! All opinions are my own.

Excellent book! I believe I already reviewed it, under a different title. It very confusing when a title gets changed, sorry.
Thanks netgalley.

I have loved Campbell’s books from the beginning and this one was no exception. In fact… this one may just be my favourite yet!

The opening chapter had me utterly hooked and if I hadn’t been reading this in the school holidays with family staying over, I’d have inhaled it in 2 days. But alas…

Campbell is a solid thriller writer. The pace was spot on, with bucket loads of suspense - total on the edge of your seat stuff. The amount of times I changed my mind as to what was going on - Campbell had me completely dangling. Did I guess the twist…?! Of course I didn’t - that was a totally unexpected and mind blowing twist - talk about a nail biting ending!! And as always, her characterisation is masterfully done.

An easy 5 star from me and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Thank you @ajcampbellauthor and @bookouture for the opportunity to read and review an e-arc of #MyPerfectMarriage

This was my 5th book by AJ Campbell, and she never disappoints, a solid 4 star really enjoyable read!

Ashley and Danny are happy, they moved to Thyme End, a country village where Danny grew up, with their 9 year old son Elliot for a more peaceful lifestyle and it’s going reasonably well. Despite Ashley occasionally feeling home sick for their past life in London, their life, to outsiders, seems picture perfect. With a busy enough marketing company and close friends Lee and Lucy, of whom Lucy was childhood friends with Danny, their life feels good. They feel certain that they made the right decision moving out of the city to Thyme End. However, when attending Lee and Lucy’s daughter Grace’s very grand 9th birthday at the estate Lucy and Lee own, Ashleys’ whole world is turned upside down when she discovers Lucy bludgeoned to death in one of the estates garages and Danny standing next to her with a hammer in his hand covered in blood. Suddenly Danny is a murder suspect and the only thing that the village can talk about is Ashley and Danny and why he supposedly killed Lucy. Ashley tries her best to hold things together for Elliot with her sister, Susie, at her side but at the same time she is determined to prove Danny’s innocence, however at every turn it gets harder and harder as Ashley discovers secrets and lies piling up all over the place. Will Ashley manage to prove Danny’s innocence, or will her own investigating put her in peril too?!

Oh, this was another great page turner from the talented AJ Campbell! I was already hooked at just chapter 4 and once again, whilst reading I was getting annoyed at life getting in the way of my reading- always the sign of a good book. I really liked Ashley, I thought she was gutsy and conducted herself really well in the face of Danny’s arrest. I really had no idea who the murderer was but really enjoyed the ride and thought it was very clever how the whole story only actually spanned around 96 hours. You never get a straightforward whodunit murder story with AJ Campbell and I love all the different facets and layers she writes in all her stories.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this for any readers who enjoy psychological thrillers, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to see what AJ Campbell comes up with next!

Thank you to NetGalley, AJ Campbell and Bookouture for my advanced reading copy. Out now.

**"My Perfect Marriage"** (formerly know as “How Can I Trust You”) by A.J. Campbell is an unputdownable thriller that will keep you reading all night long, at least it did for me, lol! The gripping storyline unfolds as Ashley grapples with the shocking accusation that her husband has killed her best friend. The tension escalates as she tries to reconcile her love for him with the mounting evidence against him.

The book delves into the complexities of trust, betrayal, and the unraveling of secrets.

AJ Campbell weaves a web of suspense, which had me totally questioning the truth and the depths of human deception. The emotional turmoil faced by Ashley is evident, and the twists and turns kept me guessing until the final pages!

If you enjoy domestic psych thrillers with intricate character dynamics, **"My Perfect Marriage"** is a must-read. It is a book that had me finding myself totally engrossed in this dark and compelling tale of love, betrayal, and the search for truth.

Another great read from AJ Campbell! I was looking forward to reading this one, it was full of secrets and mystery and intrigue.

Ashley and Danny seem to have the perfect marriage but in the space of a few hours their world is turned upside down. The story is told from the POV of Ashley. I really felt for Ashley she seemed to be uncovering more and more about Dan. I was so unsure how I felt about him, one minute I trusted him the next I didn’t.

I couldn’t figure out how things were going to go. Once things started unraveling they did at a quick pace.

I really liked Ashley’s sister and Danny’s brother too, although I was wary of him too. 🤣

I highly recommend this one if you love a fast paced psychological thriller.

Thank you to Bookouture for inviting me on the tour and for my gifted copy of the book.

It’s hard to give a review without a spoiler. The books leaves you questioning and on edge, the whole way through. It’s worth the read !!
