BLURB:

 

Alone in a hunting cabin, off-grid in an untamed wilderness. How does a marriage come to this?

After John disappeared while hunting—presumed dead from a bear attack—Cameron found the crime photos. His role in the recent Seattle serial murders was discovered. The media destroyed her reputation. She lost her dental practice, is on the brink of losing her home.

Everyone has a secret. But if her husband could hide the unimaginable from her, who’s to say he’s truly dead?

“What brings you so far from home?” the Alaska State Trooper had asked. The truth.

Excerpt One:

 

The next photo sent goosebumps down Cameron’s limbs and to the top of her scalp. Despite the fire crackling next to her, the cabin suddenly felt cold. The same woman was now obviously deceased.

 

She lay on her back. Naked. Her skin mottled and a marbled gray. Her lips were a bluish purple, and her eyes were closed. Severe bruising lined her neck. Cameron put a hand over her mouth and clicked to the next photo. It was of the same woman, only zoomed out.

 

The woman was lying on a bed. Her skin looked even more ashen next to the red bedspread. Cameron looked away and racked her brain for why John would have had these photos. Maybe he’d gotten them from a client he defended. Though it was unlike him to keep evidence like this lying loosely inside his bookshelf.

 

Cameron clicked to the next photo. She gasped as her glass slipped from her fingers and shattered on the wood floor between her feet.

 

She stared at the hand-carved cedar bedframe the dead woman was lying on. It was the same bed Cameron had slept in last night. A shirtless man stood at the end of the bed, his reflection captured in the photo by a large mirror above the headboard. He was looking down at the dead woman, and he aimed his black Nikon toward her for the photo.

 

Cameron recognized the man immediately. She’d know that face anywhere. It was the face she’d been missing and grieving over for the last three months. It was John.

Review: Cameron just lost her husband, and the only thing she had left was his cabin. Looking through some old photos, she stumbles upon a series of images of an unknown woman. The photos ended with her lying dead and naked on a bed—the very same bed Cameron slept in in the cabin. Ooh, chilling!

What did this mean? Did her husband take these photos? But why? 

Cameron discovered 7 murder victims all together—crimes of The Teacher Killer. The police had solid evidence that her husband was the culprit behind these horrendous crimes. “She was married to a monster.”

This, undoubtedly, made media news and was ruining Cameron’s dental practice. She didn’t know her husband at all. What other secrets did he keep? Now, she was suspected of being an accomplice to her husband’s killings. And it turns out that Cameron had her own secret that she was keeping from the police. 

Well-written and compelling from start to finish! Just utterly gripping, especially when it seems that Cameron’s husband might still be alive. Could he have faked his own death? Could he still be out there, hiding and killing?

A vengeful wife on the final hunt for her dead husband. Talk about a great read! 

Look forward to more books like this from the same author!
