About this listen

A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden.

My husband is dead.

I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.

My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.

So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?

The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, binge-worthy, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.

OMG! Hilariously funny!

Satire and ridiculous plot lines that has me in stitches, from one of my favourite suspense and thriller authors. I loved this! I really hope the author does more of this!

Good short story

Freida McFadden is my favourite author, always keeps me wondering till the end. This was one of my least favourite listens and that is only due to the main character. Like she is sooooo flighty. Honestly came off as unbelievable. Wasn’t as exciting as I hoped. Nice short listen while making cinnamon buns and washing dishes.

Lost three hours of my life.

Way too far fetched. And obvious. Without giving it away. The test was silly. No way.

Satirical? Not my thing.

It was hard for me to even finish this book. I was interested because of the Author and I enjoy a good satire but this was AWFUL! I almost lost all respect for the Author. It took everything in me to finish it. In my opinion it was not satirical writing but just plain lazy.
