Jacqueline “Jacks” Morales gets a surprise visit by two police officers at her home in California. They inform her that her husband, James, has died in Hawaii in a car crash. Adding to the mystery is an unknown woman who also died in the accident. Jacks is confused because James was supposed to be on a business trip to Kansas.

James and Jacks had been married for eight years. She never felt that their marriage was perfect but they seemed to get along. After his memorial, an unknown man named Nick shows up at her door. He was formerly engaged to Dylan, the woman from the accident. He is also searching for answers and wants to visit Hawaii to retrace their loved ones last few days. She agrees to join him in an attempt to solve many of her questions. Together they solve some of these mysteries while unraveling some unsettling truths.

The Good Widow is mixture of both drama and suspense. The story with its twists and tension makes it hard to put down. I look forward to more works from the team of Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke.

Thank you NetGalley, Lake Union, Lisa and Liz, for allowing me to read and review this book.

I am so glad I didn't have to wait until June to read this book, I seriously don't know if I could have waited that long. This book is so many things, all nicely wrapped up in a pretty little book. I felt going in, that this book was going to be a total thriller from the start, it has that total domestic thriller vibe to it. However, it is so much more. You see "Jacks" develop into a strong female character throughout the story. You get to witness her at her weakest, and at her strongest, and it goes to show you, that you never really know how strong you are, until you have no other choice. I absolutely loved "Jacks" and the way this book ended was absolute perfection. I don't want to go into a lot of detail, because there is so much to this book, and I really do not want to spoil it for anyone. But take my advice, make sure you have plenty of reading time, because this one will suck you in!

This was my first read of Liz and Lisa, and honestly, it will not be my last.

Jacks and James Morales seem to have a typical marriage, although the chinks in the armor keeping them together are getting bigger...when 2 policeman show up at Jacks' door to tell her husband was killed in a car accident Jacks is hit with a double blow...the sudden death of her husband coupled with the fact that he had told her he was going to Kansas. Then Nick shows up at her door with even more staggering news; James did not die alone....leading Jacks to question every moment of their lives together. Jacks agrees to go with Nick to Hawaii to see if they can sort out what really happened there, opening up wounds and fears. This book takes us on a twisty journey, leaving the reader stunned when the truth comes to light. Another great psychological suspense, with a new voice (voices, actually)!

WOW. Wow, wow, wow.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite books of the year. It is Neglect-Your-Children good. The suspense, the twists...I was trying to figure out the ending the entire time and I just did NOT see it coming. To read it and "watch" it unfold...like I said- I have no idea what my kids were doing, I just had to finish this book. I devoured it and ignored my kids...that right there tells you how damn good this one is. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

I have been a fan of Liz and Lisa's books from the beginning and this is their best one yet. A Must Read for 2017.

Wow! This seemed so straightforward and predictable -- until it wasn't. And then I couldn't catch my breath. A solid thriller with a storyline that will have you wondering if the people you love are who you think they are.

The Good Widow is a fantastic book with such a plot twist that I gasped out loud at the reveal. I loved all of the characters, especially Beth. The story flowed very well. Excellent job!,

I have read all of Liz and Lisa's previous books and loved them all. This is their debut suspense novel and WOW is it fantastic. Clear your calendar before you open this book because you won't want to put it down until you read the last page.

Jacks and her husband have been married for 8 years - it's an ok marriage with what she thinks are normal problems that most people have. He travels as part of his job and is gone most of every week. Her life is pretty calm until the police show up at her door to tell her that her husband has died in a car accident in Hawaii. The problem is that he was supposed to be in Kansas and he was with another women when the accident occurred. The woman that he was with left behind her fiance- Nick - who was also stunned at what happened. To try to find out what happened in Hawaii, Jacks and Nick travel to Hawaii to trace the dead couples last days. To say that things are never what they seem is putting it mildly!

I don't want to say any more about the plot because I don't want to give anything away but I will tell you that you are in for one fantastic read and that the last 25 pages will provide you with an ending that I never saw coming. Fantastic book by two wonderful authors!

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book for a fair and honest review.
