Book Review - The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner

The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner

Back cover synopsis: Jim Beckett was everything she'd every dreamed of...But two years after Tess married the decorated cop and bore his child, she helped put him behind bars for savagely murdering ten women. Even locked up in a maximum security prison, he vowed he would make her pay. Now the cunning killer has escaped -- and the most dangerous game of all begins.

After a lifetime of fear, Tess will do something she's never done before. With the help of burned out ex-marine JT Dillon and FBI profiler Pierce Quincey, she's going to fight back. As the largest manhunt four states have ever seen mobilize to catch Beckett, the clock winds down on a terrifying reunion between husband and wife. And Tess knows that this time, her only choices are to kill -- or be killed.

Why I liked it: It was bad as far as thrillers go. I like the concept of passive wife takes action against evil husband. I really liked the character Marion, JT's sister. The only non-predictable event in the book involves her.

What I didn't like: Alot of the dialogue fell short. I had a hard time believing in the character JT Dillon...he just wasn't all that 'tough' in my opinion. The ending was predictable.
