Not really a thriller as you quickly know what is going to happen.
Ok storyline line ... ok performance ... just sort of all round ok.
Have listened to far worse and to much better.

Story
In Riversend, an isolated country town brought to its knees by endless drought, a charismatic and dedicated young priest steps out of his church and calmly opens fire on his congregation, killing five parishioners before being shot dead himself. A year later, troubled journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend to write a feature on the anniversary of the tragedy. But the stories he hears from the locals about the priest and incidents leading up to the shooting don't fit with the accepted version of events his own newspaper reported in an award-winning investigation.

This is the first audiobook that I nearly gave up on at an early stage .... but I am so very pleased that I didn't. The female narrator starts with the Claire character and the narration was sooo slow and lifeless that I thought "I don't think I can listen to this". But stay with it, you'll soon find that it isn't a narrator issue but actually great representation of the bored rich housewife character.
Without giving away any spoilers, the book deals with abduction, mutilation and rape and as others have mentioned it is pretty graphic. However, if you can stomach that you'll find this a gripping story.

Story
On 2 September ,2008, in a valley in eastern Afghanistan, Trooper Mark Donaldson made a split-second decision that would change his life. His display of extraordinary courage that day saw him awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia, making him the first Australian to receive our highest award for bravery in wartime since Keith Payne in 1969.Yet Mark's journey to those crucial moments in Afghanistan was almost as exceptional as the acts that led to his VC.

Excellent true life story of how a troublesome kid becomes a military legend.
The only reason I critically marked the performance down one star was due to the fact that there was a tendency to repeat explanations of the TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) used. Many are well known in common language and didn't need explanation at all ... but ok explain it once to me. However, once I have been told I don't need to be reminded again. Just a mild annoyance in an otherwise brilliant book.

Exclusive to Audible! Listen to a discussion between the author and the narrator of The Widow at the end of this recording. We've all seen him: the man - the monster - staring from the front page of every newspaper, accused of a terrible crime. But what about her: the woman who grips his arm on the courtroom stairs - the wife who stands by him? Jean Taylor's life was blissfully ordinary. Nice house, nice husband. Glen was all she'd ever wanted: her Prince Charming.

Interesting perspective
Reviewed: 10-10-2017
Overall enjoyed the book but it was good, rather than great.
Really liked the concept of the story being through the perspective of the wife of the accused for a change. However, there were phases in the book that seemed to drag a little.
Main character seemed a little too 'archetypal long-suffering British housewife' but the narrator did a good job at making it believable.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Reviewed: 10-10-2017
A double mystery (one past one recent) woven with expertise and a few red-herrings. On top of that there is real insight in to the rather parochial ways of life in a remote Aussie outback town.
Characters were all believable as was the story line ... I don't remember a single "Oh, c'mon - that would never happen" moment.
Narrator did a good job of bringing life to the various characters.

Without giving away any spoilers the story starts with an event and follows the 'adventures' from that point on. However, you are almost immediately introduced to the fact that there is a past that is just as important. The story cleverly gradually reveals more of the past as the future continues.
Narrator did a good job at making the character believable.

Stephen King says he wanted to know what happened to Danny Torrance, the boy at the heart of The Shining, after his terrible experience in the Overlook Hotel. The instantly riveting Doctor Sleep picks up the story of the now middle-aged Dan, working at a hospice in rural New Hampshire, and the very special 12-year old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.

Clever storyline dealing with the life of the boy (Dan T) from the Shining. A great mix of horror, thriller and personal struggles.
Will Patton does a great job at bringing life to the characters and conveying the tense nature of the story.
If you are a fan of the classic King stories this should definitely be on your list.

Summer. Massachusetts. An old Silver Wraith with a frightening history. A story about one serial killer and his lingering, unfinished business. Anyone could be next. We're going to Christmasland.... NOS4A2 is an old-fashioned horror novel in the best sense. Claustrophobic, gripping and terrifying, this is a story that will have you on the edge of the seat while you listen and leaving the lights on while you sleep.

My first Joe Hill book and I was a little sceptical being an original King fan. However, I certainly wasn't disappointed.
The book is clever and somewhat complex. I won't give away any spoilers but the interplay of the world of thought versus the real world and its emotional impact on the main character is riveting.
It is a long book and the pace slows a bit in the mid section but stay with it until the end. It's worth it.
Kate Mulgrew provides a fine performance with a good range of voices and great expression throughout.
