Publisher Description

#1 New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner’s riveting suspense debut asks: What would you do if the man of your dreams hides the soul of a killer?

“Lisa Gardner’s books come with a built-in set of hands. They reach up out of the pages, grab you by the lapels, and hold you until you’ve read to the final, suspense-filled sentence.”—Linwood Barclay

Jim Beckett was everything she’d ever dreamed of. . . . But two years after Tess married the decorated cop and bore his child, she helped put him behind bars for savagely murdering ten women. Even locked up in a maximum security prison, he vowed he would come after her and make her pay. Now the cunning killer has escaped—and the most dangerous game of all begins. 

After a lifetime of fear, Tess will do something she’s never done before. She’s going to learn to protect her daughter and fight back, with the help of a burned-out ex-marine. As the largest manhunt four states have ever seen mobilizes to catch Beckett, the clock winds down to the terrifying reunion between husband and wife. And Tess knows that this time, her only choices are to kill—or be killed.

The slow start gives way to a dynamic end.

It was a slow burn but once the plot caught fire it was impossible to put down!

Great read

There are a lot of things I really liked about this book including the twists and turns and the reality of the writing. The hideous mastermind of a husband was well-done. I could feel the main character’s fear and sense her desperation and I admired her tenacity. What I did not like was the way the 2 main characters interacted; a very unconvincing love story, often sugary and not very believable. Some great sideline stories one of which made me very sad and I thought about it long after I finished the book. Had the writer tamed down the love story to make it more realistic and believable I could have bought it. Overall, a very good read and I just speed-read through the sugar coating.
