I could not wait for this book to end! I skimmed half of it because the characters were boring and the story dragged. There was also way too much information on firearms and ballistics throughout the book. Sorry to say I will not be recommending. Thank you netgalley for letting me give an honest review of this book.

I grabbed a copy of The Husbands as I have previously read Buried Secrets by T.J. Brearton, so I knew I was in for a treat with this one! I am so glad that I did because it transpired to be an amazing, compulsive read and I didn’t want it to end.Set in New York, the story follows FBI profiler Kelly Roth as she investigates the murders of three women, all killed months apart by a single head shot in remote areas. Protagonist Kelly is a solitary figure by nature, still affected by a trauma...

The killer simply puts a single shot in each victim's head and apparently drives off leaving shell casings and the dead behind where they fell. As she na...

When a serial killer starts to rack up a body count of married women and any of their children that happen to be with them, there doesn’t seem at first like there is any connection between the families. That is apart from the obvious, they have each been murdered by a single shot and all had either regularly taken short cuts through parks or visited parks with their children. The only other common factor is that they each had a loving husband.The police department at Syracuse, New York is gettin...

This serial killer had a hidden agenda. Agent Kelly has to think outside of the box to catch this guy. This was a slightly different spin on psychological suspense.

Suspenseful Crime ThrillerThis author is no joke--an absolute talent. This book was gripping, well-written, and the characters are so realistic. We watch a case of murders unfold and conjoined through the intelligent eyes of an FBI agent. She has some hidden secrets of her own, skeletons in the closet that just so happen to stem from the same place she's been sent to investigate. We also get little glimpses from the killer. Short but chilling scenes from inside his warped mind and sense of reali...

Hmmm, I’m in two minds about this book. I half enjoyed it, and half found it boring. I couldn’t get to grips with the protagonist, Kelly Roth, she was very morose, sombre and unapproachable. I know she had a painful past, but that wasn’t what this book was about. I just felt like I couldn’t take to her at all.There were parts of the book that dragged and went into too much detail. Such as the lecture given on guns, I found myself skim reading this section as, although, relevant to the story I do...

This is the second T.J. Brearton novel I have read and, once again, I got lost in the plot and the characters. Kelly Roth, an FBI profiler, is called in when there have been a number of murders of women in New York. They have all been shot through the head and now their husbands are being contacted by the killer and asked how they feel. The murders have been committed in three different parts of New York and there are police from three different jurisdictions trying to solve the crimes.I didn't
