About this deal

Gwen gets through each day one minute at a time. She cannot plan for the future. She must, at all times, live by the following rules: that being said, i can see how this is a popular book among readers. its very pop-mystery/thriller. it feels relevant and the writing is accessible. i just wish i had personally enjoyed the story more.

Stillhouse Lake - Army Welcome to Stillhouse Lake - Army

When Mel went on trial for the murders, Gina found herself in the public eye as well, and on trial. It didn't matter how many times she swore her innocence and her ignorance of Mel's crimes, there were many in the press, in the neighborhood, across the world, and even within her own family, who believed she had a hand in the murders. Mel's supporters on the internet criticized, bullied, shamed, and threatened her in droves, enough that she had to take the kids and run, creating new identities and starting all over again—several times. Rivard shows them a video that his investigator found, which seems to show Gwen helping Melvin abduct a girl. Sam’s sister, actually. Rivard says this is probably faked, but Sam is now on edge. This novel puts a different twist on the usual serial killer thriller. This time the killer is behind bars and the star is his ex-wife.I really liked how the book is told from Gina's point of view instead of some serial killer. She becomes strong and capable and leaves her shy/helpless self behind. Husband Mel is in prison, but he hasn't forgotten them...

Stillhouse Lake Series | Rachel Caine

Sam Cade is arrested because he has a connection to the killings – his sister was the victim who was found in the garage in the beginning. He’s been following Gwen around this whole time.But I’ve kept them safe from the wolves, at least: the most basic and important job of a parent, to keep her offspring from being eaten by predators. Even the ones I can’t see. Gina Proctor is a nice, quiet person, married with two kids, living a perfectly normal, perfectly mundane life- until a fluke car accident outs her husband as a serial killing monster. Now Gina has transformed herself into Gwen Proctor- a confident single mother who hangs out at the shooting range in her free time.

Rachel Caine | New York Times bestselling author

Sam and Mike torture Rivard for information, and he tells them where Gwen has been taken to. Rivard reveals that Melvin plans to kill Gwen on camera for a paying audience, like a really weird OnlyFans. Gina Royal is the definition of average—a shy Midwestern housewife with a happy marriage and two adorable children. But when a car accident reveals her husband’s secret life as a serial killer, she must remake herself as Gwen Proctor—the ultimate warrior mom. Internet trolls and family members of the victims have been incredibly angry with her, and have been threatening her and her children with all sorts of disgusting things. Because of this, Gina has changed their names and locations several times. They’re currently living in Stillhouse Lake and are known as Gwen, Atlanta, and Connor. Because their lives are threatened daily by internet trolls...both the kind that glorify what her crazy ass husband did and the ones who think that she should be punished. new adventures through a one-stop shop for inspiration and ideation, trip planning, information sharing,Gwen goes to the police station again. As she is leaving, Officer Graham offers her a lift to where the search party is. During the car ride, Gwen realises that this guy is acting weirdly, and there is blood in his car. When a drunk driver crashes his car into the Royal’s garage – no one, especially Gina Royal has any idea that in doing so Pandora’s box is about to be opened and all of her husbands monstrous acts of murder and torture are about to be set free for all the public to see, condemn and judge. After being tried and acquitted as an accomplice to her husband’s murders Gina (now Gwen Proctor) and her children have been on the run from internet trolls and her husbands long shadow in attempt to return to a life that resembles normal. The latest book in the Lincoln Lawyer series comes out this month. This will be the 7th book in that series, and the 41st book in the Bosch Universe. Harry Bosch also plays a big part in this book. Gina Royal no longer exists…she’s now Gwen Proctor. And there are a LOT of differences between the two. Where Gina was weak and submissive, Gwen is strong and dominant.

What happened in Killman Creek by Rachel Caine - Recaptains

One thing is for certain: she is no longer a victim. If it comes to defending her children or herself, she will fight to save them. No matter what that takes. Unfortunately for Gwen and the kids the police don't believe her either. I can't say that I blame them but it gets really bad for them. Gwen goes to jail for a bit and her mom watches the kids and tries to keep them hidden. When Gwen gets out, she gets the kids and they are on the run. The reason they have to run is because all of the haters that believe she was in on it are threatening her and the kids. I mean these people are saying some horrific things they want to do to Gwen and the kids. I mean the kids too? It's just unreal and sadistic. Even if you think she had something to do with it you don't mess with the kids! Stillhouse Park has grassy, open areas interspersed with trees. The lake has noticeably clear and deep water inhabited by largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and channel catfish.Gwen Proctor has always been willing to do anything it takes to protect her kids. But there are some things even she can’t protect them from. When a violent incident at Connor’s school brings the press to Gwen’s doorstep, she agrees to take a case out of town hoping to keep her family out of the crushing media spotlight. Easily one of the better mystery/thrillers I've read this year. After disappointments from old favourites with Since We Fell and newly-hyped thrillers like Final Girls, I managed to find a really creepy, suspenseful story from an author who has always been a bit hit and miss for me.
