The Widower's Wife
The Widower's Wife: A Thriller | Cate Holahan
"One of those rare thrillers that really will keep you reading all night." --Kirkus starred review "In this chilling cat-and-mouse tale... Holahan keeps the action going." --Publishers Weekly Ana Bacon, a beautiful young wife and mother, tumbled off a cruise ship into dark and deadly waters. Ana is gone--leaving behind her wealthy husband and adorable daughter--but not everything about her disappearance adds up. What secrets did she leave behind? Investigator Ryan Monahan is a numbers man. So when his company sends him the Bacon case, which could net a ten-million-dollar payout, Monahan doubts that her death is just a tragic accident. But the husband has a substantial alibi and a number of witnesses claim to have seen Ana fall, and the official ruling seems to hold up. Still, the more Monahan uncovers about Anas life, the more he realizes how many people would kill to keep her secrets hidden. And the closer he gets to the truth, the greater the odds grow that he, too, will take a fatal fall.

Riding home from Orlando today and started reading this one. Praying for my friends in Florida as Dorian makes its way towards the state. Glad there wasn‘t a direct hit to PR.

This was a satisfying snow day read this week! It was my third book of the day, and I just didn‘t want to put it down. Although the characters weren‘t super developed, it had a solid thriller plot and the pacing was good. I‘d say that the specific details are already fading from my memory a few days after reading it, but it was a fun reading experience.

I'm a fan of Cate Holahan. Both The Widower's Wife and Lies She Told were written with enough of a twist in the writing style itself to keep me interested, surprised, and wanting more. The Widower's Wife alternates between the assumed-dead wife and the investigator - an all-too-familiar setup for a Gone Girl-esque thriller. Except that the wife explains each twist the Investigator finds, so that I literally gasped out loud when I got to Part III.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great thriller! The last 30 pages were totally engrossing, with a happy (but kind of sad too) ending..

I'm a self-proclaimed thriller junkie, so I really enjoyed this tale of suspense and greed. Very twisty-turny - the way I like them. Couldn't put it down until the ending was revealed. Looking forward to reading more from Cate Holahan.

Normally I don't like books that switch perspective however it was done in a way that made me interested in both sides of the story. I wasn't satisfied with where the author went with the last part of the story. It seemed rushed and it bothered me. Glad this was a library loan.

Hey guys! so I'm thinking of the next book I want to read and saw two from BOTM. I downloaded a sample of The Widower's Wife and The Couple Next Door on my kindle. Any one have a preference of the two? No Spoilers 😄 Also open to other suggestions but I feel like that may open an unending can of worms lol ❤

jessberk13 I thought The Couple Next Door was really good. Haven't read the other one. I see you're not asking me directly for recommendations anymore and can only conclude that I have absolutely frightened you with the number of them lol 8y
pinkpygmypuffs Lmfao I love you @jessica and all the ones you told me weren't available from the library and are currently on hold xoxox 8y
