📌 The Perfect Divorce — The Setup
If you thought Sarah Morgan was done being the smartest (and scariest) person in the room after The Perfect Marriage, buckle up. This woman is back, and she’s even more dangerous.
We kick things off with Sarah facing off against Bob Miller, her now-husband (remember him? The coworker/partner-in-crime she married after her first husband Adam was executed). But guess what? Bob turned out to be just as shady as Adam. He cheated. Big mistake, Bob. BIG.
Sarah files for divorce, and in a tense meeting with lawyers Jess and Brad, she owns the room. Bob’s begging for forgiveness; Sarah’s already mentally packing his bags and planning to take their daughter Summer away if he doesn’t sign her terms. (Queen move.)
🔪 The Perfect Divorce — Murder, Lies, and Schemes Galore
Bob is still hanging around for family dinners (awkward), but things escalate fast. During one kitchen fight, Sarah cuts him (just a scratch… for now). Suddenly the news breaks: former sheriff Ryan Stevens — the guy who ran the original Kelly Summers investigation — has been arrested, and his DNA links him to Kelly’s murder.
The same Kelly that Bob and Sarah killed together and framed Adam for. Uh oh. Now the police are reopening the case. Bob freaks out. He knows what Sarah can do — she framed one husband for murder, why wouldn’t she do the same to him?
Bob decides to take Sarah down before she takes him down. Spoiler: bad plan.
Meanwhile, Sarah keeps up her perfect image, running the Morgan Foundation (helping former inmates, ironically). She also starts mentoring Alejandro Perez, a new client. Alejandro is actually a plant — Bob hired him to get close to Sarah and kill her. (Bob… have you learned nothing?)
🔐 The Perfect Divorce — The Ultimate Double-Cross
Things spiral:
-
Sarah kidnaps Stacy Howard, the woman Bob had a drunken one-night stand with, and locks her in a creepy basement.
-
She helps Carissa Brooks, Bob’s hairdresser, fake her death and vanish — while framing Bob for that disappearance too.
-
Sarah even convinces Stacy (who’s drugged out of her mind) that Bob captured both women.
Bob, meanwhile, tells Alejandro to kill Sarah already. Alejandro tries… after sleeping with Sarah (because of course he does). But Sarah’s always two steps ahead. She flips the script, pays Alejandro to fake her death, and sends fake murder pics to Bob.
🎯 The Perfect Divorce — The Big Finish
Bob’s still obsessed with finding Stacy. His tracking device on Sarah’s car gives him away — he rushes to the lake house, where Stacy wakes up, finds a gun, and shoots him dead.
The cops find Bob’s body, buy Sarah’s innocent act again, and Stacy becomes the unwitting hero.
One year later, Sarah’s on TV playing the grieving widow. Twice widowed, but stronger than ever. She vows to keep doing good in the world — while we know she outsmarted everyone.
💬 Final Thoughts on The Perfect Divorce
I LOVED this book. 5 out of 5 stars. The twists, the mind games, the double-crosses — chef’s kiss. I was convinced the killer would be Anne, Sarah’s assistant and friend, but Jeneva Rose fooled me again. The ending is so satisfying. Sarah Morgan is a terrifying, brilliant anti-heroine I will never stop rooting for.
