The Lucky Widow

By: Samantha Vérant

Narrated by: 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.

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.

The story was twisty

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

Great story! horrible narrating

The story is great but I feel like the narrator just didn’t do it for me.

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.

I loved the strong female characters!

Loved/ hated the characters, nice plot that didn’t stall too much. Hard time putting it down! I look forward to more from this author.

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 .

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.

Terrible narration but overall not bad

Sounds like a 60 year old narrating a woman in her 30s. It doesn’t work.
