Oh wow!! This excerpt was so good, I cannot wait to get the whole book! I immediately connected with both women who have just seemingly lost their husbands. Kristen North finds out her husband is dead in Austin, when he’s supposed to be in New York and she immediately boards the next flight out to Austin, unknowingly she is sitting next to a man that has been hired to kill her. Flora Zhang is now a widow as her husband has been murdered, and has a baby she is trying to take care of when she sees suspicious activity in her condo and goes to explore. Hoping to get the whole book soon!!

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review - -
Once again Abbott writes a winner!
Two widows try to piece together the reason their husbands were together when murdered.
Kristen gets a call telling her that her husband is dead in Austin -Why is he in Austin?
Flora thought her husband was having an affair until he was murdered and everything points to her!
Can they find the real killers? Can they find the reason why they were together? And why were they murdered?

I read this excerpt about two of the new widows whose husbands had been murdered. But the question the reader reflects on is "Why were they even together, especially when one of them was supposed to be in NYC, not Austin, TX?" It ended before I was ready, so I'll check out the "real thing" now.

I give this excerpt 4 stars and hope the rest of the book lives up to that. And more! Very intriguing.

Looking forward to read the whole book!! Very thrilling story. I look forward to see what happens next!

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wow oh wow.
This is the first time I reviewed an excerpt but the sense of suspense that Abbott portrays from the very beginning of the novel is intriguing. I was definitely not expecting an assassin (especially with him and her target sitting next to each other), and it definitely piques my interest to know why Flora has given me the impression that she has some kind of anxiety with her constant intruding thoughts that Abbott illustrates consistently. I am looking forward to find a copy and indulge in a pool of suspense.

This star rating is based on the excerpt of An Ambush of Widows, provided by Netgalley, not the entire book.

An Ambush of Widows by Jeff Abbott is a psychological suspense novel about two widows that align to try to find out what happened to their husbands. I only received an excerpt of this book, but it started off very strong, and I'm definitely curious to see where the story goes. Thanks to NetGalley for the free digital review excerpt. All opinions are my own.

I was so sad when I got to the end of this excerpt – I wish it was longer! The first few chapters set up the story so well and instantly draw you in. I am extremely interested in reading the whole book to see where it goes.

I read an excerpt of this book, and it was riveting - a page turner. I recommend this, looking forward to reading the full story!

I want to thank Grand Central Publishing and NetGallery for this excerpt. All opinions are my own.

I've been waiting for this one at my library so I was excited to grab an ARC and then I seen it said Excerpt lol. But I liked what I got for sure!

Jeff Abbott is a new to me author. I love the title and the cover of this book. From that initial phone call received by Kirsten, I was immediately intrigued. Add in the hit man’s POV and then Flora’s, I wanted to keep reading. I didn’t realize it was only an excerpt I received which makes it hard to rate based on only a snippet, but based on what I read, I am definitely looking forward to finishing the book.

I got a little sneak peek of sample chapters from An Ambush of Widows by Jeff Abbott and I need to get the entire book in my hands ASAP.

In this psychological thriller from a bestselling author, two seemingly unconnected businessmen are found murdered in an abandoned warehouse, leaving their two widows desperately seeking answers—both with secrets of their own.

Henry North is a down-on-his-luck cybersecurity expert from New Orleans. Wei “Adam” Zhang is the cofounder of one of Austin’s most successful venture capitalist firms. These two men didn’t know each other. They had never met. Yet they died together, violently, in a place neither had any business being, leaving behind two widows.

Kirsten North is a 30-year-old consultant for the tech sector, when one day, Henry doesn’t return from a business trip. Kirsten panics—and then gets an anonymous phone call: Your husband is dead in Austin. When she frantically searches for information, she finds the days-old news about the murdered millionaire and the unknown man found with him.

Flora Zheng knew her husband was keeping secrets. She suspected an affair, but she had decided she could forgive him for his weakness—until her husband ended up dead. And with no explanation for her husband’s murder, the police begin to suspect her.

An uneasy alliance forms as the two widows delve into their husbands’ deadly and dangerous secrets—as they try to protect their own. Together they will face a powerful foe determined to write a false narrative about the murders. In doing so, neither Flora nor Kirsten will remain the woman the world thought they were.

This has the ingredients of an excellent story: espionage, childhood friendships, secrets, strong female characters and I am very intrigued. Put this one on your To Be Read list immediately!

It comes out on July 6!

After reading the excerpt, I can't wait to read the entire book. It holds a lot of promise to keep me on the edge of my seat with lots of suspense.

I was able to read an excerpt of this book and I am hooked. Can't wait to pick this up and find out whether the hit was completed or if the mysterious caller was discovered.

It's next to impossible to fairly review an excerpt. This has good premise, starts out with a bang, and has great promise. Would like the chance to read the entire book.

The first two chapters of Jeff Abbott’s new book, Ambush of Widows, are definitely promising. There are strong characters, just the right amount of tension, and an intriguing mystery. While this is only a small fraction of the book, there is every indication that reading it will be time well-spent.

Really enjoyed this book! It was the first one for me to read by this author and I can't wait to read more! The characters stick with you long after the book is over.

The premise sounds interesting, mainly because I enjoy psychological thrillers. However, I can't give a full review for an excerpt, sorry.
