About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Karin Slaughter brings back Will Trent and Sara Linton in this superb and timely thriller full of devious twists, disturbing secrets, and shocking surprises you won't see coming.

It begins with an abduction. The routine of a family shopping trip is shattered when Michelle Spivey is snatched as she leaves the mall with her young daughter. The police search for her, her partner pleads for her release, but it's as if she disappeared into thin air. A month later, on a sleepy Sunday afternoon, medical examiner Sara Linton is at lunch with her boyfriend Will Trent, an agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. But the serenity of the summer's day is broken by the wail of sirens.

Sara and Will are trained to run towards an emergency, not away from it. But on this one terrible day that instinct betrays them. Within hours the situation has spiralled out of control. And the fallout will lead them into the Appalachian mountains, to the terrible truth about really happened to Michelle, and to a remote compound where a radical group has murder in mind....

Praise for The Last Widow:

"With a plot as timely as it is riveting...this is one of her best." (Booklist)

"Prepare for a rollercoaster ride, Slaughter is back with a vengeance." (Woman magazine, UK)

"Enthralling, fast-paced, tense and compulsive." (It's All About the Books)

I liked the story, got a little lost on the back and forth but found my way through
At first I didn’t like the voices of the parents - different to other readers in the slaughter books but came around to it! Enjoyable!

I read this after a recommendation for this author from Lee Child. Compelling protagonists and plot. Highly topical subject matter re the villains’ motivations.

A page turner (in audio)

I like the Will and Sarah storyline’s. I’ve read all the books to this point. I am reasonably new to audiobooks and the narrator putting on the voices and screaming into my ears nearly made me delete this book. Truely awful in parts.
