Publisher's summary

What would you do if the man of your dreams hides the soul of a killer?

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.

Great Thrilling Story

I like Lisa Gardener and most of her books. I read the reviews on this book and decided I would have to try it. A good decision. Once I started listening I couldn’t stop. If you like a thriller with some true feeling this is it.

Annoying narration

The story was pretty good but predictable. What ruined it for me was the narrator. Every sentence sounded identical, almost like she was trying to create tension by ending every sentence on an up beat. Kind of reminded me of Captain Kirk. Definitely a narrator I’ll avoid in future.

Wow wow wow

Dang this was a good book!!!. It kept me on the edge of my seat and wondering what was going to happen next!
At times the narrator was out of character or sounded dry at the wrong time. That and the ending are the only reason it didn’t get 5 stars across the board from me.
