Linda’s Book Obsession Reviews “The Killer’s Wife” by Susan Furlong, Seventh Street Books, July 18, 2023

No comments

Susan Furlong, the Author of “The Killer’s Wife” has written an edgy, intense, and chilling thriller. The genres for this book are Psychological Thriller, Thriller, Suspense, Mystery, and Fiction. The author vividly describes some horrific and disturbing crimes, and I was captivated by every word. Susan Furlong grabs the reader’s interest in the search for the murderer/s and the reasons why. This has all the feels of a Alfred Hitchcock movie, “Psycho”.

The author describes her dramatic characters as complex, complicated, dysfunctional, flawed, and suspicious. Some are either psycopathic or sociopathic. There are deep secrets, threats, danger, mutilation, and murder. There is at least one serial killer, who is yet to be found. Kerry Grey is getting out of jail, and is on parole, and has to meet her Parole Officer, Adam Nash. Kerry’s husband, Lucas, is suspected of being “The Hatchet Killer”, and Kerry was arrested when a finger was found in her car. Kerry maintains her innocence, yet someone seems to want her to be held accountable for aiding her husband. Kerry also has missed raising her son for the last four years.

Kerry doesn’t know where Lucas is, but discovers that Lucas has been leaving gifts for her son in a treehouse. Kerry is determined to find Lucas and find out the truth, before other suspicious characters do. I promise that this is a complicated and edgy psychological thriller that you just won’t want to put down. I highly recommend this novel.
