About this listen
A brutally murdered husband. An abused wife who wanted him gone for good...Did the wealthy widow arrange his death - and can a disgraced detective discover the truth?
"Your husband is dead".
Lorraine Rowe receives the news from an anonymous killer threatening her too - unless she pays an inflated fee for her estranged partner’s murder. Overwhelmed by fear and indecision, Lorraine struggles to survive as her carefully constructed life of lies begins to unravel.
Detective Sergeant Fiona "Fifi" Fielding is fighting for her future after allowing her violent temper to jeopardise her career. Is it karma that dumps a man’s badly tortured corpse on her doorstep - or something more sinister? And will the ensuing investigation enable Fiona to redeem herself?
Both women have lived through traumatic events and have much in common, but when the truth-seeker meets the accomplished dissembler, events spiral inexorably towards a deadly climax.
This hard-hitting, twisted thriller weaves deception, misdirection and psychological torment into a pause-resisting tale of murder and mayhem that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Not for the faint-hearted.
If you like complex plots, strong female characters, and high-stakes murder mysteries with plenty of suspense, you’ll love Will Patching’s latest gripping novel.
Get The Widow today to uncover the truth behind a criminal’s veil of lies!
The Widow is the first dark and disturbingly twisted novel in a loosely-linked series inspired by The Seven Deadly Sins.

"Piranhas from Tirana."
" Piranhas from Tirana. "
Two women on opposite sides of the law: Lorraine Rowe, money laundered for her criminal husband from whom she had separated five months before after he had raped and beaten her so severely she was hospitalized and lost her unborn child; and Fiona (Fifi) Feilding, detective sergeant, on psychiatric review for anger issues following her abduction and torture some years before. And a third woman, connecting both, a very feisty journalist with little to lose and much to gain, Annemarie, from the Crusader, looking for the big headlines.
When Lorraine received the demand for money together with a picture of her separated spouse hideously tortured and killed, she appeals to an old friend for help. The husband's body is found by Rick in a garage close to her home. Had it been placed there deliberately? And how did Annemarie seem to solve the murder of Russian gangster Dmitri Peskov when it had defied police investigation? Will Patching's fast moving at times brutal novel is exciting, unexpected and has a feeling of reality to it often lacking in such thrillers. Good characterisation, frightening protagonists, enthralling story: unmissable.
Performed by Gary Furlong, the narration was excellent, with gmood pacing, well modulated and with distinct individual voices adding to the already good characterization.
Recommended to all thriller fans
