The Widower

De: D.L. Fisher

Narrado por: Jessica Preddy

A BRAND-NEW totally addictive psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming.

Just when I thought I’d got my life back together, a handsome stranger moves in across the street. He says he lost his wife six months ago. He says he’s here for a fresh start. But I think he might be a killer.

Three months ago, a serial killer tore through our perfect little community. But he’s dead now, and I’m doing my best to pretend everything’s normal — pot roasts, Pilates, and that my stepson TJ didn’t upend our lives the minute he arrived.

That was before the new neighbour moved in.

Damian Mankiewicz is a good-looking, friendly, charming widower. But there’s something off about him. The box in his hallway marked Do Not Open. The house he bought — the one where a girl was found murdered. And the way he always seems to be watching.

When a local teenager goes missing, the whispers start all over again. About TJ. About me. About what really happened here.

I’ve already been through hell once. I’m not doing it again. If the widower is hiding something, I’ll find out — before someone else disappears for good.

A jaw-dropping thriller about secrets, suspicion, and the dark side of suburbia. Welcome to The Estates.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Valerie Keogh and T.M. Logan.

Another one?

So we are to receive another story. This book wasn't as captivating as the first. Hopefully it will pick up to the level of book one. I found Kerry annoying in this story.

Which way are we going with this?!

We are jumping around minute after minute. It was hard to follow. You have to being paying complete attention. I enjoyed the story it was good but excessive.

A Masterclass in Suspense!

I absolutely loved this book! If you’re looking for a psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this is it.

What really made it for me was seeing the characters and storyline carry over from the previous book. D.L. Fisher does an incredible job of deepening the world they’ve built, making the stakes feel so much higher because you’re already emotionally invested in the cast.

Why I loved it:
The Emotional Rollercoaster: I spent a significant amount of time actually yelling at the book! The tension is palpable, and the author knows exactly how to get under your skin.

The "I Knew It" Factor: I actually suspected the culprit back in the first book, but that didn't take away from the experience at all. In fact, seeing exactly how the author twisted the narrative to reveal them as the true villain was brilliant and incredibly satisfying.

Non-Stop Twists: Just when you think you have a handle on where things are going, another turn sends you spinning.

The writing is sharp, the pacing is perfect, and the payoff is worth every second of stress. I couldn't put it down!

Great narration!

The narration was excellent! The panic, and anticipation building was built up nicely. Good storyline and plot.

Poor storyline

The main character was annoyingly over dramatic - and portrayed as a weak, helpless female.
