The Doctor's Widow

The Doctor's Wife, Book 2

By: Daniel Hurst

Narrated by: Sarah Durham, Luke R Francis

She trusted him. Now, she’s paying the price....

I loved my husband, Doctor Drew Devlin, but he betrayed me. And now he’s dead.

As I put the key in the lock and open the door to the luxurious new home I’ve purchased with Drew’s life insurance money, I’m certain the worst days are behind me. My secret is safe, and I can’t wait to enjoy my new wealth and freedom.

Then, I meet handsome Roger. I wasn’t looking for a relationship, but as we spend our evenings drinking wine on my sunny terrace, I realize he’s just what I need right now. Roger is nothing like Drew, he’s spontaneous and romantic. And most of all, he’s honest.

He thinks I’m a rich, lonely woman. He’s wrong of course, there’s so much more to me.

But then one night, when we’re curled up in bed together, Roger says something that makes my blood run cold. I think he knows the truth about my life as the doctor’s wife.

I will do anything to stop my past from catching up with me, but is Roger really who he says he is? Or is my life now in danger?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists from the number one best-selling author of The Doctor’s Wife. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl, and The Girl on the Train, you’ll be hooked on The Doctor’s Widow.

Must read this book!!

I absolutely LOVED this book . I can’t wait for the next book! This is one of the best series I have read !

Two books

You gotta read both books. This is number 2... This is an exciting suspensful 2 book series. It's really clever. You won't be disappointed. It was Awesome!!! Read book one first....

Stupefied, disappointed, perplexed

Unfortunately this was probably the poorest written plot of any psychological thriller I have yet to read. The characters were one demential and the story was so lame, predictable and simple that I am shocked that it was actually edited and published.

Read book one first!

A great sequel! But read book one first because this one is a complete spoiler to the first. Loved the first a bit more than this. Great characters.

Sad, and took some wrong turns

A lot of problems in this one. After all she'd been through, would Fern really have been so unquestioningly trusting of Roger? And why hasn't she discovered that he's really Greg? But the biggest mystery is that she confessed everything to him! Fern is too circumspect, not spontaneous, for that slip up.

Obviously, she's guilty, but Drew and Alice played it all wrong too. Instead of telling their spouses about their relationship, and leaving them so they could be together, and just deal with the consequences, they carried on in secret (so they thought) while constantly hurting their partners, instead of just a clean break. Of course Drew couldn't leave Fern because she knew of all his crimes. Plus, Drew and Alice thought Rory was ill, and failed to get him the medical attention they thought he needed, hoping to get him out of the way.

So, the point is, Alice is someone you feel terribly sorry for, but she isn't completely innocent.

Fern is really the one the listener spends the most time with in both books, so it's not pleasant to see her in the predicament she finds herself in. Sad.

I'll probably listen to the next book in this series, and I hope it has Fern in better circumstances.

Suspense

Gripping kept me listening well into 😁the night couldn’t wait to get this. Finished to find out what happened.

Drags out

I was so looking forward to this book but in my opinion it could have been half as long. It was repitivie and dragged on.

Nowhere as Good as the Doctor's Wife

I was disappointed after looking forward to this. I also, as in this the first book, disliked the male narrator. He talked exceedingly fast and with his strong accent and slight tendency to mumble, I missed a lot of what he was saying.

Very good.

Well written and it immediately grabbed and held my interest throughout the entire book. Now I can’t wait to read book #3.
