Story5 out of 5 stars 16
Grace Holloway keeps to herself. Since narrowly escaping death at the hands of the man who kidnapped her, she’s thrown herself into the small inn she runs in Rock Harbor, Maine. It’s quiet, quaint and, in the off-season, completely isolated—the perfect place for Grace to keep her own secrets. But Grace isn’t the only one with something to hide, and Rock Harbor isn’t just a sleepy vacation town. Someone is taking young women—girls who look an awful lot like Grace did when she was kidnapped so many years ago.

Last night, we celebrated our anniversary. Over candlelight, we talked about the children, our work, and I was so happy, and felt so loved. But the next morning, when I check my phone, there is a message. From a friend. And a string of photos appear of my husband, Will, with another woman: walking along the street holding hands. Going into fancy hotels. Standing at a window, his arms around her, her head on his shoulder…

My handsome husband Tom. You've given me everything our beautiful son and our perfect new seaside home. I want to trust you, but I know you haven't been honest about why you really wanted to move here. I haven't been honest with you either.

Not your typical book
Was full of surprises and not your typical book at all. Narrator was excellent and captured the personalities of the characters perfectly

Enjoyable Distraction
Valerie Keogh is uncommonly courageous in presenting a deliberately unlikable gold-digger for a protagonist in 'Allison Fellows'. When Allison's deceptive trophy husband dies after "falling" onto the tracks in the London Underground, mayhem ensues.
Keogh explores the various examples of psychopathology nicely, drip-drip-drip reveals lies & scheming & duplicity among all of the characters masterfully, and provides plausible suspects for the crime.
The pacing is a little bit awkward, but - despite being fairly pedestrian and melodramatic - this Mystery/Psychological-Suspense book is quite readable.
Unfortunately, reader Rose Robinson lets the book down somewhat by exhibiting a distinctly "adequate" performance. To be clear: her diction, timbre, cadence, pacing, voice-acting, and tone are creditable - even praiseworthy - but the mispronunciations are baffling [this is the only place that I have ever heard the name Cyrano (SEE-rah-no) pronounced suh-RAH-no, for example]. In toto, it's pretty clear that Boldwood Books could have cast this project better.
Altogether, 'The Widow' rates 7.5 stars out of 10. It was a pleasant way to while away a couple of quiet afternoons as a 'Plus' option (not requiring an inordinate degree of concentration).. but is unlikely to merit a Credit should they ask for one.

Wonderfully CAPTIVATING and Suspenseful !!!
Wished so could give 10 stars to this book.
It was one of the most thrilling books I’ve listened to in a long time. I could not wait for the next chapter. I listened to it until the wee hours of the morning just to hear what was the ending.
I will be definitely looking forward to more books by Valerie Kroger. She had us in suspense for sure. Beautifully written. Absolutely best writing.
Even more wonderful was the captivating voice of Rose Robinson. She held your attention with her beautiful narration of this fantastic book. She was AWESOME.
I enjoyed this book tremendously and it’s so so worth a CREDIT.
Thank you AUDIBLES PLUS for including it in my Library.
