5-STAR REVIEW: THE KILLER’S WIFE by Susan Furlong

Publication Date: July 18, 2023

A serial killer, a woman on the run, and an obsessive parole officer tangle in a psychological net of death and secrets. . .

When a severed finger was found in her car four years ago, Kerry Grey was arrested as an accomplice to the brutal slayings of three young women. Unbeknownst to Kerry, her husband Lucas was not only missing, but a deranged serial killer. Finally out on parole, she is ready to start anew and reunite with her young son. However, when a vigilante group inflamed by fear and motivated by reward money sparks a fevered hunt for Lucas, the nightmares of her past return.

Only one person can help Kerry evade the hysteria of the media—her parole officer, Adam Nash. But can she trust him? Was his move to the backwoods town of Joy, Montana coincidental or does Nash have his own obsessive hidden agenda involving the Hatchet Killer mystery, her husband and sweet justice?

It is not long before Kerry’s new life turns dark when she discovers that Lucas has been secretly giving their son carvings made of bone. And when a freshly dismembered victim is uncovered in the forest, the law is after her once again. Left with nowhere else to run, Kerry escapes up a mountainous trail to find Lucas and, one way or another, put an end to the real-life nightmare.

In a final twist of lies and betrayal, Kerry finds Lucas and the truth that will change everything.

Fresh out of prison after four years, Kerry Yates returns to her hometown to pick up the pieces of her life.

Author Susan Furlong pens an action-packed thriller as the past and present collide in The Killer’s Wife. Kerry had been considered an accessory after a severed finger had been found in her car, but her husband managed to elude authorities.

Facing a hostile community and a young son who wants nothing to do with her isn’t exactly the fresh start Kerry wanted. Her parole officer, Adam, turns out to have a unique interest in her case.

When a female hiker goes missing, Kerry is determined to flush her husband out of hiding. However, things aren’t always what they seem. It’s an intense roller coaster ride of thrills as authorities search for clues.

The Killer’s Wife highlights the tenacity of a woman looking for redemption, only to be caught up in a fight for her life.

Susan Furlong is the author of several mysteries including the acclaimed Bone Gap Travellers series, and SHATTERED JUSTICE, a New York Times Best Crime Novel of the Year. She also contributes, under a penname, to the New York Times bestselling Novel Idea series. Her latest novel is the THE KILLER’S WIFE. She resides in Illinois with her family.
