David H.'s Reviews > A Perfect Crime

I picked this up because my 3-year-old son picked it for me randomly at our local public library, and I thought, "Sure, why not?" (and made more amusing by the fact that he picked a large print edition).

This is definitely not a book I would have picked up for myself, as I find it hard to immerse myself in a lot of popular thrillers. Here, part of my dislike was the situation--our apparent heroine was having an affair with a married man (never a way to endear me as a reader). At some point, her own husband finds out, and as he's a psychopath, he begins to plot a "perfect crime" to get rid of her. I suppose the writing was mostly fine, but I just wasn't intrigued by the characters or the so-called perfect crime, even if it did backfire in horrendous ways.
