Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

From the bestselling author of The Neon Lawyer comes a gripping thriller about a prosecutor confronted with the darkest part of her past and the worst fears for her future....

Fourteen years ago, prosecutor Jessica Yardley's husband went to prison for a series of brutal murders. She's finally created a life with her daughter and is a well-respected attorney. She's moving on. But when a new rash of homicides has her ex-husband, Eddie, written all over them - the nightmares of her past come back to life.

The FBI asks Jessica to get involved in the hunt for this copycat killer - which means visiting her ex and collaborating with the man who tore her life apart.

As the copycat's motives become clearer, the new life Jessica created for herself gets darker. She must ask herself who she can trust and if she's capable of stopping the killer - a man whose every crime is a bloody valentine from a twisted mastermind she's afraid she may never escape.

Exceptional storytelling, of an excellent story

I wasn't sure where the story was going. I always try to second guess the writer. However, this story didn't have the usual group of characters for a crime thriller like this. It kept things very interesting and me guessing. I was very anxious for each chapter to unfold to find out where the story would lead. "A Killer's Wife" by Victor Methos and performed by Brittany Pressley was great entertainment. Thank you both!
