The Killer's Wife by Susan Furlong
5.0
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.
