The Killer's Wife

A Novel

De: Bill Floyd

Narrado por: Isabel Keating

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Not since Dennis Lehane's <i>A Drink Before the War</i> have I read a debut novel with such mesmerizing power and great promise for future success as Bill Floyd's <i>The Killer's Wife</i>. 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.” —<i>James W. Hall, author of Magic City</i>

A Riveting Storyline!

This book was intensely entertaining...I enjoyed it tremendously and would recommend to all thrillers' lover audience. I couldn't stop listening, the creepiness of the storyline became mesmorizing. The narrator did a terrific job capturing all of the personalities while still maintaining the daunting tone of the book. The content was unique and refreshing, well worth purchasing through audible.

Very enjoyable read

I really enjoyed this book. It was easy to listen to, had a good plot and kept my attention.

excitement and grabs my attention

for the very start. i could not wait to get in my car to finishinglistening to this.

Good debut

This was a good debut suspense. The premise was interesting and I liked the point of view if the wife.

Superb

I needed a good 'read' and actually paid for this instead of using my credits. I am so glad I did!

From beginning to end I felt as though I was inside the protagonist, seeing everything through her eyes and feeling her horror and vulnerability.

I especially liked the way her relationship with her little boy was portrayed.

As the story unfolded I held my breath, figuratively, through the last half of the book. I suspected every single character of sinister intent.

The narrator had just the right mix of triumph and tremor in her telling of this story.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes edge-of-the-seat storytelling.
