Story
Set against the backdrop of an eerie island town in the dead of winter, The Wife and the Widow is a mystery-thriller told from two perspectives: Kate, a widow whose grief is compounded by what she learns about her dead husband’s secret life; and Abby, an island local whose world is turned upside down when she’s forced to confront the evidence that her husband is a murderer. But nothing on this island is quite as it seems, and only when these women come together can they discover the whole story about the men in their lives.

Usually, I am great at guessing what's going to happen!. Well certainly not this time, which just made it so much better! Australia we certainly have some fantastic writers! Relatable characters, great setting, finished in 2 days.

Story
Amy has only ever known life in the Clearing. She knows what's expected of her. She knows what to do to please her elders, and how to make sure the community remains happy and calm. That is, until a new young girl joins the group. She isn't fitting in; she doesn't want to stay. What happens next will turn life as Amy knows it on its head. Freya has gone to great lengths to feel like a 'normal person'. In fact, if you saw her go about her day with her young son, you'd think she was an everyday mum.

I love this book. Even though you know Lydia dies. Being a teenager sucks. Being a parent is harder! If only being open, honest and not worry about everyone else's feelings.. felt like it could have been any family in the neighbourhood growing up. Listened in 3 days
