From the excerpt alone I am really eager to read more!

'An Ambush of Widows' is about two woman that lead very different lives, but share one thing in common-- both of their husbands were found dead and had been murdered. Both widows are now desperately trying to seek answers and maybe uncover some secrets along the way.

I love the premise of this book, and was immediately hooked from the excerpt alone-- quite disappointed that it ended so quickly. I will be definitely be anticipating this release of this book.

Thank you NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for giving me this excerpt for 'An Ambush of Widows' by Jeff Abbott

This chapter was a page turner from beginning to end. I cannot wait until the full book comes out. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thanks to NetGalley for giving me an excerpt for this upcoming book. I have read other books by this author and I enjoy how he writes storys that surprise the reader in the turn they take, I don't know much about this but after those chapters we get to see that there will be two main perspectives and I am very intirgued by Henry . I'm sure I'll buy the book once it is published on july

Oh no! It was just an excerpt. Loved the title and blurb so much I missed that rather important fact. What a teaser. Now I’m dying it read all of it!

Hard to review this excerpt, an interesting start however I felt that I would have needed to read more to see if it was worth continuing...

This looks like it will be a great book, I didn't realise it was an excerpt when I requested it and was disappointed to discover so as I was just thinking how good I thought it was going to be. Nothing like a teaser, I will definitely be looking out for a full copy of the book

This excerpt got me hooked! The different POVs seem interesting and the story is already intriguing. I would definitely love to read the rest and I anticipate that this would be a 5 star read for me.

I rec'd an excerpt from Negalley and read a very very short snippet.

I liked the POV of....both wives (I wonder if there will be more than just the 2) and I was surprised that we had the hitman's POV. Not enough to know if I'll like it but I'm definitely intrigued.

Excerpt

Kristen thinks her husband Henry is in New York, but she gets an anonymous phone call telling her Henry had been shot in Austin.

Flora’s husband Adam was killed – shot and his body found with another man. Adam runs a venture capital firm, and has just bought his wife and young son a penthouse condo in downtown Austin. As Flora thinks about Adam, she looks down town and sees the condo light on….

Oh, and the excerpt ends here. Aack! I need more!

I looked it up and it says the book will be published on July 6, 2021. I’ve already marked my calendar to visit my fav indie bookstore to pick this up!

I love Abbott’s Sam Capra series – so I’m all in to get this one!

Thank you to #netgalley for providing me a free excerpt of #anambushof widows in exchange for an honest review.

I must have clicked on this by accident as I never read exerts. 12 pages of a book just makes me want more. Right now

This is not enough pages - I want more! This definitely hooks you from the start, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in the finished copy. What a teaser!

Woo, only 12 pages, I got hooked, Jeff Abbott never disappointed me. I can’t wait to red the rest of the book. I know it will be 5 star for me.

Oh, my...to be left hanging like this! I'm practically feeling tense not knowing more. So tantalizing, so riveting, so suspenseful. The title alone is enough to reel me in. Amazing how one can become utterly immersed in just a few pages. Well, the author and publisher definitely accomplished what they intended! I'm hooked and salivating for more! Quickly, please.

My sincere thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for the privilege of reading this enticing excerpt! My wheelhouse for sure.

Oh my gosh! This book starts out with a bang! I was all in from the very first page! Wishing I had been granted the entire book not just an excerpt.

Jeff Abbott is an extremely talented writer that immediately draws you into his storyline. From there hold on! You are in for a ride!

Looking forward to the opportunity to read this entire book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for an excerpt to read of what I’m sure will be a very successful book!

I love to be able to read an excerpt to see if I like a new author’s voice. Here, I liked the fast-paced writing style right away. Interesting protagonist and antagonist, who were introduced and thrown together right away. I was really hooked into the book and its premise and am going to request the whole thing right now!

This excerpt pulls you right in! The first page jumps right into the story, introducing both wives and their thoughts and questions with what they know or were told about their husbands. Looking forward to reading this book!

Don’t know why I bothered with this; I’ll read everything from this author, and this teaser simply made me eager for more.

Only 13 pages in and I'm dying to read more! This novel wastes no time and jumps right into the plot. We immediately have excerpts from each Widow, the murder of the husbands has occurred and we even have a sneak peak into someone that may be behind it all. Excellent start!
