The Widower's Wife

De: Cate Holahan

Narrado por: Teri Schnaubelt

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 10 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 Ana's 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of those rare thrillers that really will keep you reading all night, especially if you pack it to take on your next Caribbean cruise." ( Kirkus starred review)

The Widower's wife

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Widower's Wife?

It is told with two storylines intertwined. Ryan's investigation in late November and early December is interspersed with Ana and Tom Bacon's decision in October to defraud the insurance company . It has many suspenseful parts that it was hard to pause while listening to the audiobook.

Unique Plot But Rushed Ending

Liked the idea and initial storyline but then it became very predictable and the ending felt rushed and messy. Unfortunately, these things were made worse by the mediocre narratation.

Not to bad

Honest Review :
The story was ok and the narrations were easy to listen to but I just feel...for me personally that the story had to many jump scenes. I felt I was listening to one part and then it would go another part and then jump right back to where I had been before it went to another scene and it became confusing for me

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Not so many jump scenes

interesting but somewhat predictable

It is a good story and it ia very well read but it was somewhat predictable.

Do You See Dummy Written on my Forehead

Interesting story....wanted to find out "what happens" but truly unbelievable.....would anyone continue down the financial, emotional and dangerous road this woman traveled.......
The ending was also "unbelievable".....and one knows this would never happen in the real world.....
A true walk down fantasy lane !

Very good mystery

This was a really good mystery, her second book I’ve read. She’s now a familiar author that never leaves me disappointed!

Has you guessing

This book had me guessing up until the end of it! Such a Mama bear, had me relating to the main character. Lovely book! Suspenseful for sure!

Term !ife

I personally liked the insurance investigator Ryan. Tom was a excuse my language a Damn Shame. Anna was not living in a real world. Did she really think Tom was goingn to let her live? The ending was so weird and rushed in my opinion. Narrator did awesome although the story was somewhat unbelievable.
Author DeAnn DeVille

keeps you involved

written as if the main character is dead a ghost but expressing her own need to save her child (

Good twist

Enjoyed the book. Reader took some getting used to. Female reading for male character lacks something.
