Publisher's summary

The brilliant psychological thriller from bestseller Valerie Keogh.

Grieving or guilty?

When Allison’s wealthy and charming husband Peter is found dead, she appears distraught, devastated...delighted?

Because despite an apparently picture-perfect marriage, Allison knows it was all built on a bed of lies.

And as the truth regarding Peter’s life and death are revealed, Allison must try to keep her own dark past buried.

Because if Peter was keeping secrets, then his widow is too....

Perfect for fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and K. L. Slater.

Just enough intrigue

Turns out, this is a well-done story about the dynamics of human relationships. Psychological suspense, definitely, with some, frankly, odd twists, and an unexpected ending. The narrator is one of the best I have heard!

Kept me listening!

Good story that pulled me in pretty quickly, as well as my emotions from one character to another. Good plot, twists and turns, and very good narrator.

Grieving or guilty? Indeed!

I just finished “The Widow” by Valerie Keogh, narrated by Rose Robinson, on Audible Plus. I was thoroughly impressed. The writing and narration were brilliant, keeping me engaged and eager for more. This was my first experience with both the author and narrator, and I was delighted to discover this talented duo. The plot was expertly crafted, revealing the truth about Peter's life and death, while Allison's dark past threatened to surface. With its subplots {{{there are many}}}, unexpected twists and turns, this devious audiobook had me hooked from start to finish with just the right serving of the creep factor mixed in. I'm now looking forward to exploring more of Keogh's works, and I hope to find Robinson narrating them as well. Highly recommended and one of my absolute favorites in my vast Audible library (after almost nine years as a member, I’ve accumulated quite a collection, mostly British).

Everything I wanted in a cosy twisty domestic psychological thriller

I am thrilled this was included in Audible Plus. I will be seeking out other books by this author. A perfect domestic thriller for me. Well written, a slightly different angle on things! Perfect!
