My Lovely Wife

Teri Knight’s guest today is Samantha Downing.  She hits a homerun with her debut novel, “My Lovely Wife”.  It will grip you from the get-go. It’s a disturbing tale of middle class marriage boredom and one couple’s way to find that spark, will keep you up later than your bedtime!   The conversations in the book are dead-on natural — dinner with the kids each evening, working their jobs and moving easily into discussing the ways in which they will find their next victim. The narrator of the book is the husband, whose name we never hear.  The family appears as your average 2 children suburban couple. A movie is already being considered!
