The second standalone thriller from the award-winning author of The Nowhere Child, Christian White.Set against the backdrop of an eerie island town in the dead of winter, The Wife and The Widow is an unsettling thriller told from two perspectives: Kate, a widow whose grief is compounded by what she learns about her dead husband’s secret life; and Abby, an island local whose world is turned upside when she’s forced to confront the evidence of her husband’s guilt. But nothing on this island is quite as it seems, and only when these women come together can they discover the whole story about the men in their lives. Brilliant and beguiling, The Wife and The Widow takes you to a cliff edge and asks the question: how well do we really know the people we love?

"Finished in about a week, very good thriller! Some great plot twists "

"Not everything is at it seems, when you start reading and everything seems straightforward, We have a WIDOW who’s husband is missing under mysterious circumstances, having never got off a plane he was supposed to be on for a business trip, and then uncovering more and more lies. Did she even know him?<br/>We meet the WIFE who’s life seems picture perfect, a husband, and kids.. but she is also on a mission to uncover lies hidden by her husband, and she is determined to get to the bottom of it all.<br/>What do these two women have in common, you’ll think you know but you have no idea. The narrative is in third person, and told in both of their POV’s. Different perspective novels have become my favorite, as the reader, I am able to better understand the characters, and in return I connect with them in a whole new way. <br/>Readers who love thrillers, filled with suspense need this novel. It’s filled with twists, and turns, and you’ll have lots, and lots of questions, and the author does an amazing job, at closing all the loops, it’s very satisfying not having a million questions at the end of a book. I have not read Christian’s first novel, but you better believe I’m ordering it today!<br/><br/>Thank You Minotaur Books for sending me a beautiful ARC copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review - All opinions are my own."
