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.

Domestic English mystery with a slow beginning.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

K.L. Slater’s “The Widow” is a domestic mystery set in a small, modern-day English village. Readers seeking thrillers told from multiple points of view and with lots of twists, turns, and surprises will probably find something here to enjoy.

Kate and Michael Shaw and their six-year-old daughter Tansy live happily in the village of Lynwick. Michael manages a large rural property with several homes for an elderly widow. Kate works part-time as a teacher’s assistant at the local elementary school. The family is popular in the village and has good friends. But when a young woman living in one of the houses managed by Michael goes missing—the third such person to disappear from the village over the years—their happy life begins to unravel. Will Kate be able to solve the mystery of those disappearances and save her family? Or will she be judged a criminal and lose her reputation and the village’s esteem?

Author K.L. Slater writes well. Her descriptions are evocative, and her dialogue is realistic. She does a good job portraying village life and the relationships between various characters. And for the most part, she keeps her readers guessing. The answers to the mystery are surprising.

However, notwithstanding the twists and turns, I did find parts of the novel predictable and other parts repetitive, especially in the beginning. During the first half of the story, I found myself saying, “Okay, I get it already. Let’s move on.” At other times, I found the characters somewhat unrealistic and their actions and reactions not entirely credible—more in service of plot and coming to a specific result than portraying real human emotion and behavior.

So, there’s good and there’s not-so-good here. All in all, a three-star performance.

My thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for making an ARC available to me. The foregoing is my independent opinion.

Fascinating story

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2022

I absolutely love this book and recommend it highly. Twists and turns throughout with great characters and fabulous ending. Hiding from the past provoked sinister behaviour that resulted in loss of life and pain and confusion for Kate, Michael, Tandy ; Donna, Paul, Ellie . But the one person who was a catalyst to all of the incidents, had been in denial for decades and lived out her life buried in lies that destroyed those who always loved & protected her.
But they each learned a valuable lesson from the adversity. Hope never dies & love will find a way.

This was a great book. I love the fast-paced drama. If I say anymore I will start to spoil the book for those who haven’t read it yet. But, wonderful.
I do tend to read scores of reviews before I review a book myself, and for those who complain that everything is solved with tea…, well isn’t that the way in the UK?
Also in the South, where I’m from, but with cold sweet Luzianne instead of hot Earl Grey!

Interesting novel but too drawn out over the same story theme. Could have been written with half the size novel and it would have been more interesting.

K. L. Slater is becoming my favorite author. I find her characters very real. Can’t put her books down usually until I read it in one seating. I enjoy the suspense and finding out the ending

Thrilling!

This was my weekend read and OMG I got nothing else done. I absolutely LOVED The Widow and was engrossed from the very first page. There are some brilliantly drawn characters that simply jump off the page. As ever the author led me down a twisty, turny road of intrigue and suspense and spat me out right at the end. The writing was impeccable and every single chapter worked to construct a web of lies and deceit that drew me ever further into the story. Awesome characters, brilliant storyline, tense pacing and an ending that left me breathless. Highly recommended and a huge 5 stars from me.

Fast paced, tense domestic thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

I absolutely love K L Slater's books and this one is no exception. I powered through it in just two days, unable to put it down.

The story centres around Kate, a contented wife to Michael and mother to Tansy. After another young mother in their village disappears suddenly, Kate's husband Michael becomes the prime suspect, shattering Kate's world and everything she believes in. Secrets and lies are exposed and Kate no longer knows who she can trust.

I love the author's style of writing and found this to be a fast paced story with multiple layers and twists and turns. I found the characterisations believable and I especially warmed to Kate and the way she clearly wanted to believe the best about Michael, despite the overwhelmingly evidence against him.

Although the clues were there, I did not figure out the ending or guess whodunit, which is always another plus for me.

I'd highly recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed the author's previous books, and, to anyone who hasn't previously read one, this is as good a place as any to start! I'm eagerly awaiting K L Slater's next book.

Thanks to publishers Bookouture and Net Galley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely Intriguing

The book had all the great components of KL Slater's books. The twist that you never see coming, and the subject deals with multiple social issues of our times. Once you start you cannot put the book down. The characters are well developed and the main character's dilemma is real and as readers, we can feel her desperation. The Widow is a must-read book from KL Slater. And if you have never read her book, please you have to start now to get blown away by her stories.

Having read the reviews I thought this might be a great read….a real page turner.
How wrong was I ….I found this book so lame and unlikely and will not be reading any more of this author’s books.
If you enjoy mills and boons then this book will probably be for you.
