Very good book--interesting main character. Woman learning that she is strong, not reliant on a man . . . sounds cliched, but Rachel Caine makes it work.
Setting: Tennessee, by Stillhouse Lake
Characters: Mom, Gwen/Gina, trying to protect her kids from the effects of her serial murderer husband who is in prison, but who still has tentacles out.
Suspects: Javier, gun range manager and part-time cop
Sam: Brother of one of her husband's victims who has tracked Gwen down.
Lancel: Cop with boys who bully Gwen's son.
Gwen gets help from Absalom, a computer whiz who helps her keep track of trolls on the Internet.
Local police are suspicious of Gwen, believing she must have known her husband was a murderer (or at least should have known). Gwen was tried as an accomplice but acquitted.
Kids, Lanny (girl) and Connor (boy) are good characters as well. Very believable.
I'd definitely read another by Rachel Caine
Spoilers follow:
Murderer is Lancel. He's obsessed with Gwen's husbands and his methods of murder. Absalom, her helper, is actually a traitor. Nice twists, but she boxes herself into a corner by having Lancel's sons be the guards of her children. Is there ever a chance that she's going to shoot some kids to save her kids?
