Description
The second standalone 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?

Oh my gosh, I simply loved this book. What a twist at the end of the story, did not see it coming. I am recommending this to people who are getting bored reading the same old story. I could not wait to get home to read this every night. This is a great written book. I cannot wait to see what else this author will write. Great read!!!! 10 out of 10!

The setting of a book can make or break a story, and White’s choice of a sparsely populate island in winter is so effective in creating tension, it’s almost a third character. Kate has had a hard enough time dealing with the death of her husband, when she discovers he’s been leading an entirely separate life. She and islander Abby, have much in common; it would seem Abby’s husband is also a liar. Together they hope to find comfort, but instead they uncover a truth so shocking that they (along with readers) are left gasping. As twisty as it is twisted, this is a book you won’t be able to put down
