Synopsis

Can you ever really know someone? Six years after her ex-husband is sentenced to death for a series of gruesome murders, Leigh Wren has almost succeeded in putting her past to rest. But her assumed identity quickly unravels when the father of one of her ex-husband's victims begins stalking her and publicly exposes her past. As Leigh grapples with memories of her marriage to a man whom she exposed to the world as a deviant serial killer, a more deadly game of cat and mouse begins: A new killer emerges, one whose methods are frighteningly similar to those used by her ex-husband, who is on death row thousands of miles away. With the clock ticking down and the victims of a new, unknown killer mounting, Leigh forces herself to probe the dark corridors of her past to save her life and her son's. Psychological suspense and harrowing insights drive this highly entertaining thriller from a major new voice.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Sharon

Leigh Wren was more than shocked when she learned that the man she had been married to for many years and had a child with was a cold-blooded serial killer. The man she once loved and shared her life with suddenly became nothing more than a stranger and a deadly one at that. Six years had passed sin......more

Quotes

“Not since Dennis Lehane's A Drink Before the War have I read a debut novel with such mesmerizing power and great promise for future success as Bill Floyd's The Killer's Wife. It's a story that seizes you from the first page and draws you into the ordinary worlds of richly drawn characters, both sympathetic ones and extraordinarily creepy ones. Surprises galore, twists, turns, and throat-clenching suspense, all written in prose that is as smart and textured as our best writers. Grab this one, and hang on for one hell of a scary ride.” —James W. Hall, author of Magic City
