About this listen

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot comes the first novella in the thrilling Widow’s Island series.

FBI Special Agent Cate Wilde is back home on a remote Pacific Northwest island when she gets the call: a teenager’s skeletal remains have been found on a nearby island.

Together with Tessa Black, a childhood friend turned local deputy, Cate confronts dreary weather and bleak leads to make sense of the death. The complications pile up as Cate is distracted by the coroner on the case - and by nagging memories that draw her twenty years into the past. The remains suggest eerie similarities between this victim, and Cate and Tessa’s friend Samantha, who disappeared when she was fourteen.

Cate finds herself up against closemouthed locals, buried town secrets, and even her own heart. As the case unravels, will she be able to cut through the fog and find justice for the missing and the dead?

Not one of her best, I hope that this, first in the series was just to set up the characters and give a sense of how the island was laid out. I sincerely hope future plots will be more compelling.
The narration was quite good though.

Just OK.

Not as thrilling as I had hoped

The story was hard to follow, mainly due to the narrator whose tone didn't always match her words. I suspect the Kindle version would have been better.
I give this book 3☆s.

I was captivated from beginning to end. Relatable characters, yummy ice cream, and happy cows. What more can you ask for?

The narrator did a wonderful job giving different voices to the various characters.

This series feels like short stories that should be in one book. Not worth my credit.

Two short

The characters in the story were very likable and their relationships were very interesting to read. The motive for the killing was a little week

Nice little story
