About this listen

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.

Brilliant and beguiling, The Wife and the Widow is a gripping tale of deception and sacrifice from Australia’s most exciting new crime writer.

Amazing

I felt it dragged & on and then more , although the prayer had a good pleasant voice it is difficult to keep track of who is who as the voice were to similar with no change of accent or pitch, but the story got ragged and loose in the last hour trying to wrong out to much from a finished tale.

didn't know when to stop

Really enjoyed this book. Was familiar with many of the places, so was easy to picture the places and the people. Found jobs to do that allowed me to listen at the same time.

Excellent storyline. Loved the twists.

The loop at the end confused me at first, then I understood. Very interesting.
❓NOW ‼️ for the production side of the reading...
When will your Verbal Chapter listing match the actual chapter index... An annoying on going issue. Your reader will for an example, verbalises Chapter 6, but if I want to go back and re-read say Chapter 5, I will probably need to check Chapter 2 or 9 in the printed info . ‼️‼️THIS IS NOT JUST IN THIS BOOK; IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR SO MANY OF YOUR PUBLICATIONS. VERY ANNOYING ‼️‼️‼️

The Book was good. BUT ! ! ! !

Such a cleverly written book. You don’t realise how suspenseful until the very end. Worth every minute.

Beautifully narrated by Caz Prescott
