THE HUSBANDS
By: T.J. Brearton
5 out of 5 stars
The story THE HUSBANDS by T.J. Brearton is a book that I loved reading. It pulled me in right from the beginning and had me turning pages to find out what happens next. It is a heart-pounding thrill ride that just won’t let go. I loved reading about the character of Kelly Roth. She is an FBI profiler who has returned home in order to help local police find a killer. The killer is intelligent and always seems to be one step ahead. Kelly has to use all of her skills in order to outsmart the killer and justice to prevail. Will she find the killer? Is the killer playing a twisted game by contacting the husbands in their time of grief? Read this book to find out. This story is thrilling, mysterious, and had me on the edge of my seat. There are scenes that are intense. I found myself caring about Kelly with each chapter that I read. I wanted her to succeed in her investigation. Kelly is determined, intelligent, and excellent at her job. She uses her instincts and is a wonderful profiler. She is also one that takes a chance when she needs to. There are many other characters that are introduced that I enjoyed reading about, They help Kelly. Then there are those who seem to have their own agenda. There are secrets uncovered and no stone goes unturned. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you reading far into the night in order to finish the last page. Highly recommended reading.
4.5 Stars
Kelly Roth, FBI Profiler, has been sent to her small hometown in Nw York. Someone is targeting wives and children and then he targets the husbands.
The sadistic serial killer starts with one woman … a shotgun blast to the back of her head. The next victim is a pregnant woman. Then comes a woman and her young son. All killed brutally and all the same.
Kelly and local law enforcement have nothing to go on. The victims have nothing in common, there are no clues left behind … other than bullet casings. The police think this is a deliberate act.
And then come the phone calls. A man calls the husband and wants to know how he’s feeling. One husband kills himself … another hides out in a remote cabin.. another turns to alcohol.
And then it gets real personal for Kelly. And there are more deaths.
This is a well-written crime fiction with several major twists and turns. Is this killer targeting random families? Or is he known to one or more of them? Is this a cover for one of the husbands?
Kelly will risk her own life in a heart-stopping race against time to stop more murders and find out the truth.
Kelly is a terrific character and I enjoyed how the author weaved her backstory into today’s killings. There are plenty of suspects with a story premise that keeps you guessing until the very end.
