My review:
The widower’s wife: a thriller DB128362 is an intriguing thriller that grabbed hold of me from the start and wouldn’t let me go.
Ana Bacon is a wife and mother. Her husband, Tom Bacon, is struggling under the weight of financial troubles. Then he takes out a five-million-dollar life insurance policy on Ana, with a double indemnity clause.01 Then, shortly later, during what should have been a romantic cruise, Ana goes overboard.
Her body was never recovered.
Was it a tragic accident? A heartbreaking suicide? A cold-blooded murder? Or… Was it something else?
That’s when Ryan steps in. He is an insurance investigator with a sharp eye, and a tough refusal to settle for easy answers. As he investigates, he begins to uncover secrets, lies, and a marriage that may not have been what it appeared. Each chapter leads you closer to the truth, but the truth keeps shifting.
The author builds tension, weaving a web of secrets, and shifting timelines that keep you guessing. The story moves between past and present, between Ana’s voice and Ryan’s search, tightening the suspense with each move.
If you enjoy thrillers where nothing is quite what it seems, The Widower’s Wife is a book you will want to read.
