John Bae’s A Killer's
Tears melds the finest elements of mystery, crime, and legal thriller into
a sensational tale that puts readers on the edge of their seats and has them
racing through the pages. The story has an explosive opening where readers
encounter Hope Kane just after committing a heinous crime— or does she, really?
It is an open-and-shut case that Hope is guilty of the murder of her husband
and daughter, a case that has been in the news to the point that no defense
lawyer wants to take on. Tom Rose is aware of the stakes and when — even reluctantly
— he meets Hope, everything changes. The woman who has never said even a word
to anyone from the moment of her arrest arouses his curiosity in a way that is
irresistible. He takes on the case as pro bono and quickly finds himself
navigating through murky waters, facing a mystery and a threat not only to his
life but to the lives of others? The closer he gets to the truth, the stronger
the danger! Did this woman kill her husband and daughter or is there more to
the mystery of her personality?
The revelations in this twisty tale are shocking and
following Tom’s investigation until the exciting climax leaves readers
spellbound. I love short chapters with well-crafted paragraphs, and Bae excels
at them, using them to heighten the pace and the dramatic notes that are
characteristic of this tale. The plot reserves unexpected twists for readers
and emotionally tense moments that start from the beginning of the story. Tom
Rose is a relentless, intelligent lawyer who is at a decisive moment in his career,
and taking on Hope Kane’s case could make or mar his career; he is genuinely
vulnerable but has those qualities that keep readers rooting for his humanity.
Hope Kane is a puzzle that readers want to unravel and the author uses this
character to build the suspense that permeates the narrative. The question:
“Did she really kill her husband and daughter?” is persistent and it drives the
plot in directions that no one can imagine. A
Killer's Tears is an accomplished novel that will appeal to a wide range of
thriller fans, deftly plotted, balanced, and intensely propulsive. It grips the
reader from the very first page and the grip only tightens as the story moves
forward.

Many first-time memoirists believe that because the events are true, the structure will take care of itself. This is a fatal error. Life is chaotic; narrative is order.
