Narrative Conducive To Books A Perfect Husband (Sami Saxton #1)
An abandoned cabin… a diabolical killer…a hidden cemetery… a deadly secret is about to be uncovered.Far from the neon blur of Manhattan – the dizzy buzz of restaurants, theater openings and one too many cocktails – located seventy-two miles outside the City in the sleepy, rural township of Montague, New Jersey, Sami Saxton is looking to rebuild her life. A rebirth, one might call it. And, she intends to do this spiritual resurrection in a small, abandoned fishing cabin, built over forty years ago by her deceased father.
Not quite abandoned…
A lethal serial killer has taken up residence in the basement of Sami’s remote cottage, using her father’s carpenter table for a hobby much more sinister than woodcutting.
Sequestered deep within forty-two acres of tall pine trees, bristling brooks and fresh water lakes, Sami Saxton is about to fight for her life.
The hard truth… nobody will ever hear her scream!

Sami, newly divorced, moves with her dog from the Big City to a cabin in rural New York. Almost right away, the reader is made privy to the information that both Sami and her dog are in mortal danger. The setting may sound like a hundred movies youve seen. But Wickard, with a skill rarely seen, take this typical setup for cheap thrills and makes it into something so much more. The point of view shifts back and forth from Samis to that of a psychotic killer. The author shows unusual insight into
Douglas Wickard knows how to turn a phrase. One of the first things I noticed when reading this book is his skill in that regard. He is a true wordsmith and sets his literary table well. He makes it look easy but we all know its not, which is a sure sign you are enjoying the work of a true artist. The female protagonist, Sami, is a strong, able woman who starts a new life after her divorce in a lonely location; an isolated cabin. Problem is, that cabin has been claimed and used by the sinister
Amazing book. Kept me at the edge of my seat until the very end.I also enjoyed the different POV and I had a deep feeling of really knowing the characters.I'm not very good reviewing or writing, that's why I'm the reader not the writer hehe, but definitely a must-read book :)Looking forward to reading something else from D. Wickard.
Dealing with divorce is hard enough but Sami Saxton must deal with much much more. Sami decides to reinvent her life after her divorce and moves to her father's cabin in the country. She knows the place needs some work. Strange things begin happening from day one and Sami is sure she knows who is behind it all. Smitty Fowler is just the average working man. At least he seems to be on the outside. He's fighting some pretty big demons inside though. His mother neglected him and his father couldn't
Horrific, Psychological ThrillerLadies, spark up your tasers!A Perfect Husband by Douglas Wickard is a dramatic, page-turning thriller I will not forget anytime soon. Recently divorced and in desperate need of peace and serenity Samantha (Sami) Saxton decides to take up residence in her father's remote, run-down cabin.Unfortunately, charming and diabolical serial killer, Smitty, has been using the basement of the cabin to torture young ladies in the most grotesgue, freakish manner imaginable.
I found this book via a Goodreads friend who gave it a 5 star review. When I see a 5 star review by someone who has similar taste, I almost always try to find the book and read it. While I gave this book a solid 4 stars (4 1/2 if Goodreads allowed 1/2 stars) instead of 5 it was absolutely worth the time I spent reading it. I messaged the publisher and offered to review the book and received a copy for my Kindle via email. Thanks Untreed Reads.There were many positives in this thriller. Smitty.
