Grieving or guilty?
When Allison’s wealthy and charming husband Peter is found dead, she appears distraught, devastated….delighted?
Because despite an apparently picture-perfect marriage, Allison knows it was all built on a bed of lies.
And as the truth regarding Peter’s life and death are revealed, Allison must try to keep her own dark past buried.
Because if Peter was keeping secrets, then his widow is too…
My Opinion
Brilliantly Amazing
Valerie Keogh with her new book The Widow hits the right mark for the mystery lovers. The readers are going to just keep guessing what happens next, but the author has something else in her mind. With just five characters in the whole story, the plot is spun like a web. And the characters come across each other's lives brilliantly. As a reader, you are going to enjoy a rollercoaster ride with these characters. The twists and turns are utterly brilliant, keeping you in awe. But, truly my words fall short for the praise.
Definitely 5 stars for the book, although it looks too less. Thanks to Netgalley and Rachel's Random Resources for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
