In the Name of Escape
In the Name of Escape by Jessica Hintz is a haunting psychological thriller based on true events that dives deep into the dark corners of love, guilt, and betrayal. Set in the heart of a suffocating small-town marriage, this domestic thriller with court drama unravels the life of a woman trapped in a toxic marriage-until one day, she chooses escape not by walking away, but through a crime of passion.
Torn between duty and desire, Disha becomes a caregiver turned killer, wrapped in the deadly arms of a lover and wife murder story. As she sells water cans under the blistering sun and wipes her paralyzed husband's mouth at night, a spark ignites with a mechanic-a rough man with grease-stained hands who sees her not as a mother, but as a woman starved of affection. What begins as stolen glances and shared tea soon spirals into a fatal love story crime, where escape is plotted not in silence, but in whispers behind locked doors.
With a chilling courtroom betrayal novel arc and emotionally damaged female lead, this true crime emotional fiction forces readers to question the boundaries between mercy and murder. When the body is found and the bruises speak louder than tears, the trial becomes a national headline. She confesses. He collapses. And the children-now torn between orphanhood and memory-are left as silent witnesses to a broken family crime book.
For fans of female murderer love affair narratives, infidelity crime fiction, and thrillers with female protagonists, this novel is more than a gripping read-it's a reminder that not all prisons have bars. Whether you're drawn to caregiver turns killer fiction or jail confession drama books, In the Name of Escape is the perfect psychological escape for readers craving true crime inspired novels that echo long after the final page.
