Today I am on K.L Slater’s new release The Widow’ book tour for Bookouture. One writer who always brings a fabulous story is K.L Slater. The Widow is no exception. A psychological thriller that had my pulse pounding from the start.
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…
Wow! I wouldn’t say this story is just a psychological thriller, I would say it has a mystery element to it as well, which made for a very intriguing and enthralling read. I really could not put this down.
The characters are so vivid they jump out at you. The author has such skill in drawing the reader into the story by creating a twisty and turning story that makes you think you have cracked it, only to discover it’s not what you think and you are back where you started.
I loved the build up of suspense all the way through. The plotline is fabulous, the tension is almost palpable and the ending…well you just really need to read it!
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for my copy of the book.
