Alice Hunter writes domestic psychological thrillers about marriages, hidden violence and the unsettling question of how well someone can know a partner. The Serial Killer’s Wife follows Beth Hardcastle after her husband is arrested for murder and her apparently ordinary family life becomes evidence in a criminal investigation. The Serial Killer’s Daughter and related novels continue Hunter’s interest in relatives living under the shadow of violent crimes. Her books are fast, accessible and twist-driven, with the domestic viewpoint carrying more weight than police procedure. The Serial Killer’s Wife is Hunter’s most direct premise, asking what happens to an apparently ordinary household when a husband’s arrest forces every part of the marriage to be reconsidered.
