Mother of two Gina Royal reinvents herself, Sarah Connor style, when she discovers her husband is a prolific serial killer who has tortured and killed a succession of women in her garage. Even with her husband (now ex) on death row and a succession of new identities for her and her children, she can never quite escape the multitudes of haters who refuse to believe she was unaware of his evil deeds. Then bodies start turning up in the lake outside her house, murdered in eerily similar ways to her ex-husband’s victims. And then things go from bad to worse.
Rachel Caine is apparently a prolific author of young adult novels, particularly the vampire type, but she’s awesome in this thriller, which is decidedly for adults. The ending sets things up nicely for a sequel and I say, bring it on.
