DESCRIPTION:
A man with a deadly past marries into the perfect, respectable family in this riveting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh . . .
A woman buried.
A woman broken.
A woman crashed.
A woman burned.
And the man who knew them all.
Love at first sight, a whirlwind Vegas wedding, a fairy-tale romance.
For seventy-nine days, Tavish Advani has been the happiest man in the world—until his new life turns to ash, his wealthy in-laws’ house going up in a fiery explosion. His badly injured wife lies in a coma, her family all but annihilated.
Tavish thought he left the sins of his Los Angeles life behind, but it’s not so easy to leave behind an investigation into the deaths of several high-profile women—all of whom he professed to love. Tragedy and death follow him no matter where he goes . . . but this time, he knows he’s innocent.
Desperately trying to clear his name as the authorities zero in, he begins his own investigation into the fire—and learns that his wife’s picture-perfect family may have been nothing but a meticulously constructed mirage. The truth is much darker than anything Tavish could’ve imagined . . .

MY THOUGHTS:
Tavish and Diya’s married life is a whirlwind right from the start. At least one of their families is hiding dangerous secrets. The very start of their married life is all but destroyed by tragedy. After a fire takes the lives of most of Diya’s family, and she is left in critical condition. The police have more than one probing question for Tavish. It can’t be a coincidence that Tavish’s previous three relationships have led to the death of each of those partners.
Tavish’s first-person perspective dominates this story, interspersed with flashbacks from Diya’s life. The detective’s notes and context also play a crucial role. Singh’s writing style makes this story highly addictive. The excellent pacing and shocking twist make Such a Perfect Family a truly captivating read.
Many thanks to Berkley and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. I also spent three years living and working in Japan, during which time I took the chance to travel around Asia. I’m back in New Zealand now, but I’m always plotting new trips. If you’d like to see some of my travel snapshots, have a look at the Travel Diary page (updated every month).
So far, I've worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher and not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency but I call it grist for the writer's mill.
