Summary

My husband was not a monster. No matter what they say....

The day my husband, Michael, stepped in front of a lorry after being questioned by the police, my world fell apart. He was devoted to me and our six-year-old daughter. But they’d connected him to the disappearance of a young mother from our tiny village.

Now I stand at Michael’s funeral, clutching my little girl’s hand, with tears in my eyes as I insist to all our friends that he died an innocent man. Yet the questions have started, and nothing I say will stop them digging for the truth.

But none of them can read the secrets in my heart, or know about the phone I found hidden in his toolbox....

I’m determined that my daughter will not remember her father as a monster. I will erase any hint of wrongdoing in this house whatever the cost.

Because to keep my daughter safe, the last thing I need is for people to start looking at me....

A completely gripping psychological thriller from the author of the number one best seller The Marriage. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on The Train and The Wife Between Us then you will love The Widow.

it's ok but ...

A very average book... The ending certainly lets it down and Kate's character is rather annoying. It was easy to listen to apart from the made up Polish accents that did the character no justice at all.

The Widow works for me..

Loved it, tantalising storytelling and the narration added the accented flavour to it. Village life with a bit of mystery, blind alleys, lies and murder. Just what I needed for a cold evenings listening, to keep me company.

Really good

I was surprised just how good this book was sometimes with the audible included titles they can miss the mark a bit but this was brilliant. The story was solid not overly complicated but believable with a couple of twists . The narrator was also very good I thoroughly enjoyed it .
