I listened to this while at work and I riveted. Trying to figure out who done it, why, and the twist at the very end?? Left me speechless and had my co workers asking if I was alright. I gasped loudly and I swear my jaw was in my lap for a good minute. Highly recommended!

Fast-paced, with barely a chance to breathe, "The Killer's Wife" by Susan Furlong is a neck-snapping ride of suspense! When you least expect it, expect it. When you think you have it, you don't. Brilliant!

Fully disclosure - I was tempted to read The Killer's Wife by Susan Furlong solely based on the cabin tucked away in the dark woods pictured on the cover. I'm such a sucker for a good cover. Always. Once I started reading it, I was so glad I was sucked in by the cover! Wow. There were so many twists and turns throughout this book.
Four year ago a horrible crime took place in the small mountain resort town of Joy, Montana. A place where everyone knows everyone else's business. Kerry Gray is unfortunately married to the murder and she ends up going to prison for four years as his accomplice, while her husband is supposedly on the loose somewhere in the forest. There have been sightings, but he's never been caught. Adam Nash comes to town as a new Parole Officer and he just so happens to be a true crime fanatic, fully versed on the case. Suddenly the murders start up again. All signs point to Kerry. Can she prove her innocence? And exactly who is committing the new murders?
I was all set to rate this book 4 stars. I was able to guess a few of the twists. But the ending caused the rating to jump back up to 5 stars. I'm impressed with the overall pacing of the story, the characters jumped off the page at me, and that ending ... I really have nothing bad to say about this book. Now excuse me while I go look up some more books by Susan Furlong to lose myself in!
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Most of the characters have mentally issues that they don’t even like bat an eye at. Like they are messed up. And the little boy was creepy. And also it was a basic plot.
But could have been worse.
I think there was a plot twist at the end.
Oh and the mother was the main villain in this for sure.
