Narrado por: Michelle Price

It’s the secrets you don’t know that will kill you.

Married couple Leona and Wayne Woodrow are celebrating their anniversary with a hike on the Appalachian Trail when Wayne slips and falls off a cliff. A search party turns up his bloodied clothing, but not his body.

An inheritance and a huge payout from a life insurance policy do little to ease Leona’s grief. Adding to her stress is Wayne’s brother, Michael, who makes it clear he suspects Leona is somehow responsible for Wayne’s death.

When Michael is shot dead and his wife Chelsea vanishes, Leona finds herself the prime suspect in a twisted plot of secrets, betrayal, and murder.

Leona is sure that what’s been happening is connected to a secret in Wayne’s family. And she’s right. But she has no idea just how shocking that secret is and just how far its keepers will go to protect it…

The Widow’s Secret is a terrifying psychological thriller perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, Miranda Rijks, and Teresa Driscoll.

The Christian agenda

It was a good book and then about halfway through there are all these religious references. It really had nothing to do with the book, but the author must’ve felt it was necessary to pretend it was a Christian based book. Random and misplaced. Also, after it was referenced multiple times, it never appeared again in the rest of the book.

Unsophisticated Writing

This audiobook wasn’t terrible, but it was not well written - especially the storyline. I am usually understanding of an author taking some artistic license in adding improbable pieces to a story when it is necessary. Sometimes it is a good decision to write improbable scenarios to add some intrigue and substance. But…. SO MUCH of this story was improbable and shallow, I am left wondering if the author was just lazy. I was able to listen to the entire audiobook, so that’s a small positive, but it was far below the standards of other crime/thriller novels. This one wasn’t thrilling, suspenseful or surprising in any way. The narrator was okay, but not great - and her speech mannerisms and tone were annoying at times. I wouldn’t recommend that anyone use a credit for this one.
