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 bestseller The Marriage. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on The Train and The Wife Between Us then you will love The Widow.
Review
Kate and Michael live in a small village, they are very well known and liked, that is until a young woman called Suzy disappears and Michael is getting the blame.
Tragedy strikes when Michael is killed in an accident, now it’s up to his wife Kate to find out what really happened to Suzy and to find out if her husband had anything to do with it.
I have read all but one of K L Slater’s books so it was inevitable I would request this as soon as I saw it, she has a way of writing that keeps you gripped to the very end. The Widow was another great book.
The plot was brilliant, a few red herrings chucked in there which had me suspecting them only to be proven wrong, but I did suspect that one character wasn’t to be trusted and my gut was right about them.
Kate was a likeable character and everything and everyone was well described so I had a vivid picture of the whole village, homes and the people in it.
Another fantastic book that I would recommend!
