Interpretation Toward Books The Perfect Husband (Quincy & Rainie #1)
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.

I've done my Gardner reads all wrong. Or maybe it was meant to be?It began with reading book eight in her DD Warren series first, then backtracking through the proper order. Then I moved onto the Tessa Leoni series that split off from it. Now I've gone back to the actual beginning.. and who do we meet? JT Dillon, an ex-marine and (in the more recent books) arms instructor, who has been liberally sprinkled all throughout Gardner's books, who I've very much enjoyed seeing whenever he made anHoly CRAP! Pretty much my thoughts as I read this book. It spooked the hell out of me. I liked it...but really had to sleep with the lights on afterward. Yes I am a bit of a chicken but yeah good book, I thought the story behind it was very creepy but it held my attention like no other. I had to keep going to find out what would happen next scared or not! If you like a good suspenseful book with psychos and ghosts and all things just creepy this is it!
This book was really creepy! Can you imagine being married and having a kid with a man who murdered ten women? This book tells one of the most shocking stories I've ever read in a well-detailed and vivid style, it almost felt real instead of fiction. But it isn't all gloom and doom, it also has some themes of romance, empowerment and friendship in the book as well. :)
This is my favorite Lisa Gardner book from the beginning of her suspense writing career. There are a few things that are difficult to believe (and I wont mention specifically to avoid giving any spoilers), but if you ignore the unrealistic bits, its a funny, fast-paced book. There are some parts I had to speed read because I was so concerned with what was going to happenthe mark of a good suspense novel!
This is my first shot at a "suspense/thriller" novel. I am a sucker for romance and also for serial killers...strange but true. My ideal movie night would be "Pretty Woman" followed by "Silence of the Lambs". This little ideosincrasy of mine set me up perfectly to love this book....only I really didn't. Here's why.... 1. Tess has been through hell. An physically abusive father and an emotionally abusive and controlling psychopath for a husband. Why couldn't this author have made J.T. Dillon a
This is listed as the first book in the Quincy & Rainie series but Quincy is not a major character and there is no Rainie. I have read several of Lisa Gardner's books including one other in this series. I have enjoyed her other books and decided to read this series in order. In my opinion this is not one of her better books. It was okay and I will probably still read the other books in the series but if I had started with this I probably would not have that interest.Tess Williams thought she
Tess Williams, after a dismal childhood, found herself married to the "perfect husband" who turned out to be her biggest nightmare. After discovering he was responsible for the murder of at least ten women, Tess helped in his capture. Now he's escaped from prison and she knows his ultimate goal is to find her and her daughter and kill her. She decides to go on her own and prepare herself physically and mentally for the inevitable confrontation by hiring a mercenary to train her. J. T. Dillon is
