What would you do if the man of your dreams hides the soul of a killer? Jim Beckett was everything she'd ever 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 come after her and 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. She's going to learn to protect her daughter and fight back, with the help of a burned-out ex-marine. As the largest manhunt four states have ever seen mobilizes to catch Beckett, the clock winds down to the terrifying reunion between husband and wife. And Tess knows that this time, her only choices are to kill--or be killed.Rating About Books The Perfect Husband (Quincy & Rainie #1)

This was one of the first books that Gardner wrote... she has definately become a much better writer. I have loved the other books by her (alone, gone, killing hour), but i really didn't like this one.The story line is very unrealistic and the characters are not likable.The story centers around "tess" Her husband, is a psychopath who kills many people, he gets arrested, breaks out of prison, and comes back for her and her daughter.That plot sounds great, but the storyline was very bad.Tess goesVery disappointing book. This is because the book tends to focus more on J.T., the mercenary who Tess goes to for self-defense training, than it does on Tess and her recently escaped serial killer ex-husband.J.T. is crude, rude, and a very unlikable character. Hes tortured by his past and full of self-pity and hes constantly thinking of - his abusive father, the colonel - his sister Marion, who he feels he didnt protect from the colonel - his dead wife and kid. When hes not thinking about them,
First published in 1997, this book has aged like milk. Battered wife goes to masculine ex-Marine looking for combat lessons; he slaps her around a bit (it's ok, he wasn't expecting her and was on his annual 5 day bender to celebrate the day his former love interest/stepmother and half brother were killed...oh yes); her terrible husband defies several laws of physics and storytelling to track her down; final showdown ensues.It earned itself two stars by actually being very well written, if you
Holy CRAP! Pretty much my thoughts as I read this book. It spooked the hell out of me. I liked it...but really had to sleep with the lights on afterward. Yes I am a bit of a chicken but yeah good book, I thought the story behind it was very creepy but it held my attention like no other. I had to keep going to find out what would happen next scared or not! If you like a good suspenseful book with psychos and ghosts and all things just creepy this is it!
4.5/5 Jim Beckett is a pure psychopath. Most of you out there probably think you know what that means. I'm here to tell you that you don't. Oh my God! What did I just read?Lisa Gardner is a genius! This was such an intense and gripping suspense/thriller story with a touch of romance. It left me exhausted as if it drained all my energy away after I finished it. The Perfect Husband gave me chills from the very start and I felt more and more terrified of what would happen to Tess and her daughter
What would you do if your perfect husband wasnt perfect after all?SUMMARYStrong and handsome, Jim Beckett was everything Tess Williams ever dreamed of for a husband. Two years after Tess married the decorated cop and had his daughter, she helped put him behind bars for savagely murdering ten women. Even locked up in a maximum-security prison, he vowed he would come after her and make her pay. Now he has escaped and Tess is running for her life.Tess is tired of living in fear, she wants to learn
This book was really creepy! Can you imagine being married and having a kid with a man who murdered ten women? This book tells one of the most shocking stories I've ever read in a well-detailed and vivid style, it almost felt real instead of fiction. But it isn't all gloom and doom, it also has some themes of romance, empowerment and friendship in the book as well. :)
