Relation Supposing Books The Widow (Kate Waters #1)

When the police started asking questions, Jean Taylor turned into a different woman. One who enabled her and her husband to carry on, when more bad things began to happen...

But that woman’s husband died last week. And Jean doesn’t have to be her anymore.

There’s a lot Jean hasn’t said over the years about the crime her husband was suspected of committing. She was too busy being the perfect wife, standing by her man while living with the accusing glares and the anonymous harassment.

Now there’s no reason to stay quiet. There are people who want to hear her story. They want to know what it was like living with that man. She can tell them that there were secrets. There always are in a marriage.

The truth—that’s all anyone wants. But the one lesson Jean has learned in the last few years is that she can make people believe anything…

Comment On About Books The Widow (Kate Waters #1)

2 1/2 stars. So Ive already written a review recently about the bumper crop of child abduction themed books Ive read in the last year. And heres another one. I swear that I didnt know that The Widow focused on another disappearing child. I probably should have read the blurb more carefully, but the title in fairness does not suggest child abduction. Anyways, as I point out in my review of What She Knew, Ive quite enjoyed some of these books although I swear its not a theme I seek out. But that

This debut novel hit the ground running. No doubt the packing, publicity and (yet again) comparison to Gone GirlI mean, how many Gone Girls can there be! (But I guess we do keep falling for it, so it works)have helped to propel it onto the NYT. Its often a bit like watching a toddler on a tricycle when you buy one of those novels, you know. Its like, can the work ride on its own right out of the gate, or will it be wobbly on the training wheels that the publisher and public expectations have

3 StarsTold in multiple POV, both in 1st and 3rd person, its the first installment in the "Kate Waters" series but it can be read as a standalone. It's alternating between past and present and contains short chapters. This was my first read by this author and I went blind, unfortunately, it wasnt as good as I would like and didnt surprise me. Not because of the subject matter, it just it wasnt like a mystery to me and it didnt even thrill me! Overall, it was an okay read and hope you like it

Meh. This is...fine, but not particularly outstanding as thriller, as character study, or as dissection of a marriage; really, it feels like it just doesn't have much to say. It doesn't take long for readers to know one of the primary narrators is seriously unhinged, but even that POV didn't provide much interest--and it should have. (You could have lost the frequency of some of those other POVs without much impact, too.) It's also remarkable how lacking in tension this felt, and how facile the

I really liked the premise of this read and had high hopes for it. It is the story of Jean Taylor whose husband Glen is the suspect of a horrific crime. We have all seen women like Jean on the news, standing beside their husbands on the court steps, looking supportive, being their rocks. But, what is going on inside their minds? Do they really believe their husbands cries of innocence or are they covering up for them, or indeed are they the masterminds behind the crime? It seemed like a pleasant

Jean Taylor's husband was accused of a crime... and for a while she wasn't sure if he was guilty or not and has to pretend that she doesn't suspect him and doesn't notice his strange behavior. Then she finds out the truth. When he is gone for good, she no longer has to pretend and she can tell the truth to the press or make up her own version. Unfortunately, I wasn't grabbed by the story, didn't find it suspenseful, immediately grasped what Jeans' husband's "nonsense" was and was not invested in

Does anyone want to start a letter writing campaign or club to ban misleading book jacket summaries? Cause I will provide snacks at all the meetings and get cutsie t-shirts made on my own damn dime.The book jacket for The Widow by Fiona Barton would have you believe that you are about to read a psychological thriller all about the widow of a man accused and found guilty (in the court of public opinion at least) of kidnapping and murdering a two year old girl who's remains have never been found.
