The Killer's Wife

Poor Start in Thriller Genre for Floyd

When will the new breed of thriller writers wake up and realize that "first person" narratives rarely work. THE KILLER's WIFE is no exception. Where is the thrill or the fear when the protaginist must survive to complete the story? Floyd's debut gives us a story with with no twists or turns. Just utter predictability. And he fails in producing any semblance of real courtroom drama. If this author intends on incorporating more courtroom drama in any future attempts he should find some time to observe a trial. Lawyers do not turn to juries and offer commentaries after witnesses answer questions. That is called summation and it comes at the end of a trial. Can't recommend this book to anyone for any reason.

Real

Well-writen and cleverly plotted, this book provides a searing look at a twisted mind and the way it affected multiple lives. Gruesome with little warmth.

Spine Tingling

The Killer's Wife is Bill Floyd's debut novel, just thinking about the book gives me shivers up my spine. It was a great piece of work and I would recommend it to anyone who loves great thrillers. I think my only problem with the book was that the author didn't really comprehend how women talk and think, since the book is told by the killer's wife his adaptation of her speaking and thinking is a little off and by that I mean the way he wrote her she sounded more like a man to me. But I find a lot of male authors also have this problem. But this is his first novel and I still give it 4 stars out of 5. It was terrific.

an interesting spin on the serial killer thriller

Six years have passed since Nina Mosley found proof that her husband, Randy, was a nationwide serial killer. After he was convicted in California and put on death row, she quietly divorced him and moved to the coast with their preadolescent son, Hayden. She changed her name to Leigh Wren and settled in Cary, North Carolina.------------ Things seem fine for Nina and Hayden until an angry father of a victim finds her in Cary and informs everyone that she is the wife of a killing demon who sired her son. Friends reject her as if she and Hayden killed all these people they hold her culpable for not recognizing the monster she was married to. However, everything changes again when mousey cringing Nina becomes the mouse that roared when someone tries to kill Hayden.-------------- THE KILLER¿S WIFE provides an interesting spin on the serial killer thriller as the focus is on the wife and son of the sociopath. The story line is at its best when the focus is on Leigh, who was avoiding the limelight trying to make a safe life for her and Hayden only to have that destroyed by another victim. The reaction of her friends is priceless and her look back to her married day (though at times intrusive due to much frequency) adds to understanding her as she wonders how she missed the signs. When the plot switches to Nina amateur sleuth it adds tension, but loses the uniqueness of a deep character study into other victims of a serial killer.----------------- Harriet Klausner
