A serial killer, a woman on the run, and an obsessive parole officer tangle in a psychological net of death and secrets . . .
When a severed finger was found in her car four years ago, Kerry Grey was arrested as an accomplice to the brutal slayings of three young women. Unbeknownst to Kerry, her husband Lucas was not only missing, but a deranged serial killer. Finally out on parole, she is ready to start anew and reunite with her young son. However, when a vigilante group inflamed by fear and motivated by reward money sparks a fevered hunt for Lucas, the nightmares of her past return.
Only one person can help Kerry evade the hysteria of the mediaโher parole officer, Adam Nash. But can she trust him? Was his move to the backwoods town of Joy, Montana coincidental or does Nash have his own obsessive hidden agenda involving the Hatchet Killer mystery, her husband and sweet justice?
It is not long before Kerryโs new life turns dark when she discovers that Lucas has been secretly giving their son carvings made of bone. And when a freshly dismembered victim is uncovered in the forest, the law is after her once again. Left with nowhere else to run, Kerry escapes up a mountainous trail to find Lucas and, one way or another, put an end to the real-life nightmare.
In a final twist of lies and betrayal, Kerry finds Lucas and the truth that will change everything.

My Thoughts:
The Killer’s Wife is a psychological thriller that takes you along for a ride as an armchair detective. Bringing you pieces of the past that collide with the present, it doesn’t take long for Kerry Grey to be wrapped back up in the mess her husband left her in. Determined to focus on rebuilding a relationship with her son, Joey, she’s unwittingly pulled into dealing with an unfinished past. Readers get to follow along from Kerry’s point of view, as well as Adam Nash, her parole officer who happened to be quite a fan of the case as a child alongside his now deceased mother. The dynamics of the Hatchet Club members and the local police force have you questioning everyone’s odd connections and obsessions with the case. As the pieces begin to morph into a final showdown, Furlong gives us a huge twist – one that you won’t see coming.
