Publisher's Summary

My husband was not a monster. No matter what they say....

The day my husband, Michael, stepped in front of a lorry after being questioned by the police, my world fell apart. He was devoted to me and our six-year-old daughter. But they’d connected him to the disappearance of a young mother from our tiny village.

Now I stand at Michael’s funeral, clutching my little girl’s hand, with tears in my eyes as I insist to all our friends that he died an innocent man. Yet the questions have started, and nothing I say will stop them digging for the truth.

But none of them can read the secrets in my heart, or know about the phone I found hidden in his toolbox....

I’m determined that my daughter will not remember her father as a monster. I will erase any hint of wrongdoing in this house whatever the cost.

Because to keep my daughter safe, the last thing I need is for people to start looking at me....

A completely gripping psychological thriller from the author of the number one best seller The Marriage. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on The Train and The Wife Between Us then you will love The Widow.

Captivating read

This book was great all the way through. The story line was interesting and unpredictable. With a surprising twist , it holds your attention until the end. Small minded village people, infidelity, missing persons, dead bodies and unexpected villans it has a host of characters to hold your attention.

What You Keep In the Dark Will Come to Light

When you know someone and the tables turn does that mean that you turn with it or believe in the person that you know and love... Great book, there were so many twists and turns that kept you on your toes, and wanting more. I will definitely recommend this book to my friends.

Twisty and Entertaining

I found the storyline overall engaging. It had a couple twists I did not see coming. The ending was a little drawn out but overall a good story. Narrator fantastic.
