Publisher's summary

The second stand-alone 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?

The twist you would never expect.

Suspense on every page, a real who Done it…..
Love, sacrifice, and how long can you really keep a burning secret.

Well Done!

I just can't say enough about Christian White and his ability to throw a curve ball just when you think you have it figured out. The story unfolds from two perspectives as the title suggests, and comes together wonderfully and unexpectedly in the end. Well performed by Cat Prescott, the story flows seamlessly between the wife and the widow. Definitely a must read!

Twisted Story - Pay Attention

This is a great who-dun-it. I think I would have been able to follow along better had I read the physical copy though. The audio version was a bit confusing for me.

Great murder mystery

Lots of misdirection. a few nice twists. Good narrator, but you may have a bit of trouble with the Australian accent at first with some words. Great from start to finish.

Another great book from Christian White

This is my 4th book by Christian White and I love every single one. I would not have heard of this author had it not for Audible Plus including 2 of his books and I fell in love with both of those. He is now one of my favorite authors. I loved the suspense and the surprise of the timeline in this book. The 2 timeline caught me by surprise and the twists and turns were amazing. The plot was great and so is the narrator. I will keep looking out for more books by this author.
