Barton, Fiona. The Widow. New York : New American
Library, 2016.

| "A loving husband or a heartless killer... She'd know, wouldn't she?" |
There’s a lot Jean Taylor has never said out loud. Things
she kept quiet for her own good, or that of her family. She wanted so badly to
have the perfect marriage and to create the perfect life with her husband Glen
– to take care of one another, to live peacefully.
But the abduction of two-year-old Bella Elliot starts to
raise questions, and the police come knocking. They suspected Glen, and though
Jean held her silence, she found she was no longer required to bite her tongue
after his passing. His death brought the journalists and detectives swooping
down onto her door, and Jean realised that although she may have never said
some things out loud, it doesn’t make them any less true.
Told through gripping alternating perspectives and diving
head-first into the case of a missing child and the prime suspect, The Widow
is a psychological suspense novel that questions everyone and everything
you hold to be true. For those seeking a deliciously un-put-down-able story,
look no further than this.
