The Widow

By: Fiona Barton

Narrated by: Hannah Curtis, Nicholas Guy Smith, Jayne Entwistle, Steve West, Mandy Williams

For fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, an electrifying thriller that will take you into the dark spaces that exist between a husband and a wife.

When the police started asking questions, Jean Taylor turned into a different woman. One who enabled her and her husband to carry on, when more bad things began to happen...

But that woman’s husband died last week. And Jean doesn’t have to be her anymore.

There’s a lot Jean hasn’t said over the years about the crime her husband was suspected of committing. She was too busy being the perfect wife, standing by her man while living with the accusing glares and the anonymous harassment.

Now there’s no reason to stay quiet. There are people who want to hear her story. They want to know what it was like living with that man. She can tell them that there were secrets. There always are in a marriage.

The truth—that’s all anyone wants. But the one lesson Jean has learned in the last few years is that she can make people believe anything…

What three words best describe the narrators’s voice?

Good

Was The Widow worth the listening time?

Yes and no I had to complete it

Any additional comments?

It was a predictable ending and at the last I did not like Jean and felt she was just as guilty as Glen

Keeps You Very Engrossed

I loved it from the very beginning . It really kept me guessing . I went back and forth as to who I thought took her. Very good ending, didn't expect it!!!!

Awesome book!

This was an awesome book and it keeps you interested from beginning to end. The audio performers were wonderful.

SAD & CREEPY

Well written, well narrated, difficult story overall ... insights into a marriage, a sexual deviant who starts off slowly with internet sites and escalates ... you are never quite sure what the widow knows or doesn't know.

Interesting

I was interested the entire time, but really wish the ending was better. That’s all I feel it was missing
