Pretty solid logline. Structurally not too different from our example for Jaws.
Not caring for how “turn to a tortured past” sounds in this. I’d omit it and just use her past skills as this will slightly shorten the log.
To find the killer or seek revenge? Is she next or can she walk away from this?
When her husband is murdered, a businessman woman must recall and use her forgotten skills to beat the killer at his own game.
Agreed with Karel and Foxtrot25.
I would go as far as describing adding detail to her past this will eliminate the need to specify the skills, i.e:
After her husband is murdered, a former spy gone businesswoman must hunt down the killer to save her own life.
“…Hunt down…” implies to kill him, or her, and by specifying her as a former spy it’s made clear that she can do it.
Agree with Foxtrot25 and Nir Shelter.? What skill set does “her tortured past”? give her to identify and apprehend the murderer?? And they have offered examples of slipping that information in without bloating the logline.
