The Lucky Widow

De: Samantha Vérant

Narrado por: Laurel Lefkow

Wishing your husband dead isn’t a crime...

When you return from a work trip to find your husband dead in the pond, it’s best not to call him a liar and a cheat in front of the cops. Especially when you’ve spent the last few years telling anyone who’ll listen that you sometimes fantasize about killing him. It makes you look kind of, well, guilty.

Now I’m suspect number one for Nathaniel’s murder and the police are snooping around our perfect home. And the house is perfect because I designed it, down to the last marbled detail. You could say I designed our marriage, too. As soon as I saw Nathaniel—so handsome, successful, a surgeon—I knew I wanted him. Sadly our marriage wasn’t quite as perfect as our house. But whose is?

The cops want to talk to our daughters, our friends, even our staff. There’s the housekeeper, the cook, the pool cleaner, the dog walker. But like me, they were all out of town when he died. They won’t have anything to say about what happened. Certainly nothing that will suggest I had something to do with it...

A gripping and utterly compulsive story that will have you racing toward the final seconds. Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage, and anything by Lisa Jewell will be up all night listening to The Lucky Widow.

The story was twisty

I loved this book. First time reading more of Samantha’s books. The end was fantastic.

Not my favorite

The narration wasn’t great, the story was boring and predictable, the storyline implausible. I wouldn’t waste a credit on this one.

Good storyline; kept me interested and wanting to know more the whole time.

I loved how I was immediately interested from the first page and kept wanting to know more.

Okay

It took me a while to get into the story. A lot of unnecessary ramblings and some things could've made it better, one being Gordon could've been old enough to be Nate's father. Now That would've been an interesting and believable twist if he's in his 60's and Nate on his late 30's. The book is full of unlikeable spoiled entitled people. Emma's really no better than Nate considering how she plotted to marry a rich man. Though it's cheesy and cringe in several areas, it's a decent read.

Loved it!

What a great read! I really enjoyed the story. Kept me guessing and entertained. Add to your list.

Good story very long story could have cut 20 chapters.

Please listen to the very end Emma will explain everything. I was about to be done with this book, something told me to listen to very end. I am glad I did

plot

Very interesting plot. Enjoyed characters and the Narrarator was excellent. The story kept me engaged. Author did a great job describing the settings and environment.

Love it! Must read

Loved this book!
Gripping, jaw dropping and a great read from beginning to end. A must read .

One of the best reads ever!!

I was rooting for Emma from the very start!! The flow was fast paced and cohesive. It was never rushed, just a perfect pace with wild twists and turns! I hope to read many more from this author!!

Great story - horrible narrator

Loved the story but the narrator, not so much. Her inflection on words was extremely awkward and distracting.
