A Killer’s Wife

 Fiction by Victor Methos


Sixteen years ago Jessica Yardley was a photographer expecting her first child with her husband Eddie Cal, when it was discovered that he was actually a serial killer nicknamed the Dark Casanova. Since then she's been to law school and has become a federal prosecutor, all while her daughter Tara has grown to a teenager and her ex-husband Eddie has sat on death row.

Now there's a copycat killer on the loose and the FBI wants Yardley's help in catching him. Will she jeopardize her current relationship with her boyfriend Wesley, and possibly her daughter's safety as well, to work on this case?

Well, obviously she will, or else there would be no book.

Although some parts of the plot were difficult to believe, in general this was a good-enough mystery/thriller, a solid one-thumb-up. The surprise ending, however, bumped it up to one-and-a-half!
