Overview
This two-book paperback set brings together two of Jackie Kabler's most gripping psychological thrillers, The Perfect Couple and The Happy Family.

Fans of twisty domestic suspense will find plenty to love here, as Kabler builds tension through relatable characters, believable settings, and slow-burn reveals.

About the Books
The Perfect Couple opens with Gemma, a devoted wife whose world collapses when her husband Danny vanishes without a trace. As she turns to the police for help, she is horrified to learn that a serial killer is on the loose in Bristol, and the victims all bear an unsettling resemblance to Danny. As Gemma searches for answers, she is forced to question everything she thought she knew about the man she loved, and whether the perfect relationship she believed in was ever real at all. The Happy Family follows Beth, whose life finally seems to be coming together after years of instability, until her mother Alice, who disappeared when Beth was just ten years old, suddenly reappears and moves back in. What begins as a hopeful reunion soon curdles into suspicion, as old wounds resurface, friendships fracture, and Beth is left wondering exactly what her mother is capable of. Both novels showcase Kabler's skill for grounding high-stakes suspense in intimate, everyday relationships, whether it's a marriage or a mother-daughter bond. Her prose is fast-paced and accessible, her characters feel real and flawed, and her plotting rewards careful readers with twists that recontextualize everything that came before. Together, these two standalone thrillers make an excellent introduction to Kabler's body of work, and a satisfying set for anyone who already counts themselves a fan of her writing.
