How far would you go to protect your daughter?

Get the book that one reader calls, "a truly brilliant psychological thriller"...

Jennifer's new neighbor, Lenise Jameson, is a liar. Lenise claims to have witnessed a disturbing incident involving Jennifer's husband, Hank, but as far as Jennifer is concerned, the forty-something single mother is a vindictive backstabber out to make trouble.

But Jennifer soon discovers this is no sick joke. Hank has a dark side she knew nothing about.

As Jennifer's life spirals out of control she has no one to turn to, apart from Lenise, who appears only too willing to help. But just who is Lenise? What does she want from Jennifer? And how far is she willing to go to get it?

A dark, unsettling psychological thriller about secrets and obsession, and what can happen when you forget to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

If you like suspenseful domestic thrillers, you'll love this stunning debut from exciting new crime writer, Deborah Rogers. The Devil's Wire will keep you turning pages until the very end.

    How far would you go to protect your child? Jennifer's whole life implodes as Lenise tells her what she saw one Friday night. Is Lenise just getting revenge for Jennifer knocking down her dog or is she telling the truth?

    The story starts off alternating between Lenise and Jennifer but then half way through everything changes. Their lives become intertwined as the two women try to move on with their lives after what happens.

    I personally didn't like Lenise; some of the things she says make me wonder about her. I didn't trust her despite her giving the impression that she was just a victim of circumstance and society.

    I felt for Mckenzie being caught between the middle, not knowing what is happening between Jennifer and Lenise and worried sick that she's upset her father by telling the truth. My feelings for Jennifer changed as the story went along. I had little sympathy at the very beginning for her, she was someone tempted to cheat on her husband and then drives home drunk before knocking over her neighbour's dog. But as the revelations of her husband's control and actions start to appear, I softened towards her.

    The story is well written and I did enjoy it. It's got lots of suspense to keep you turning the pages (electronically speaking). I would definitely read another book by the author. Ooooo just spotted Ms Rogers recently published a novella "Left For Dead"; that will be heading towards my TBR pile before long!

    Many thanks to Deborah Rogers and CrimeBookJunkie Book Blog for sending me this ebook to read and review honestly.

    Cracking book which kept me enticed from the beginning and I found that i could barely put it down. The only slight thing that let this down for me was the ending I would have wanted to learn more about lenises ex husband and to know what happened with Jennifer and Mackenzie. Other than that really good read

    Incest - physical abuse - and murder! Kept me turning the pages and had a hard time putting it down. Jennifer is plagued by her controlling husband, Hank, and a daughter, Mackenzie, who develops obsessive compulsive tendencies. When things get out of control, her neighbor, Leniese, a South African, comes to her aid. However, Leniese becomes controlling and turns into Jennifer's nemesis. The battle has only begun - when Det North starts asking questions. Great book and the characters were definitely ones that's everyone could relate to. I won't spoil it for others - read it!

    Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2017

    Around page 4, the shock and awe set in. Here is a book that I downloaded because Kindle Buffet recommended it. It was free that day from Amazon. I don’t usually expect much from these books, but some of them are a nice diversion when my reading queue gets a little too heavy with long classics. This one intrigued me because the subtitle is “A twisty psychological suspense thriller”. Boy, did she understate THAT.

    The characters instantly jump out of the pages at me, full throttle. And they are hardly likeable characters, but they are fully rounded, sometimes scaring the bejezus out of me. The plot takes several creepy turns in the first few chapters, and then just keeps getting creepier.

    It’s written in present tense, which only adds to the immediacy of the suspense. There is no time for dilly-dallying, or digression. The plot moves at lightning pace. The reader is hanging on to the top of a runaway train, nearly hit repeatedly by thunderbolts (sorry for the mixed metaphor).

    The dialogue? Between Jennifer and Lenise, the two main characters, it’s like the way Sgt. Joe Friday and Officer Bill Gannon talked in Dragnet. Not a wasted word, just the facts, ma’am. Only instead of facts we get psychopathic planning, blackmail, extortion, seduction, fear and loathing. The other characters are drawn into this spiraling insanity against their will, but there is no escape.

    If you’re looking for a quick read that is disturbing, thrilling, and gripping, look no further than The Devil’s Wire.

    This book was not a bad read but it was not"chilling" and "gripping" as proclaimed. I wanted to know what happened but it was rather predictable. Also I found the characters to be unlikable. It was hard to be in anyone's corner when they all had yucky personalities. It was hard to really like any of them. I also doubt I could ever put that much trust in soeone I did not know as Jennifer did with Lenise. I find it hard to think I would ask a neighbor whose dog I killed and did not know to get that wrapped up in problems with a weirdo husband. Sorry---it just did not rock my world.
