Praise For This Book |
USA Today Bestseller ONE OF KIRKUS' BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR A cruise ship tragedy leaves behind a sea of secrets-and hints of foul play-in "one of those rare thrillers that will really keep you reading all night" (Kirkus) Ana Bacon, a beautiful young wife and mother, tumbled off a cruise ship into dark and deadly waters. Ana is gone-leaving behind her wealthy husband and adorable daughter-but not everything about her disappearance adds up. What secrets did she leave behind? Investigator Ryan Monahan is a numbers man. So when his company sends him the Bacon case, which could net a ten-million-dollar payout, Monahan doubts that her death is just a tragic accident. But the husband has a substantial alibi and a number of witnesses claim to have seen Ana fall, and the official ruling seems to hold up. Still, the more Monahan uncovers about Ana's life, the more he realizes how many people would kill to keep her secrets hidden. And the closer he gets to the truth, the greater the odds grow that he, too, will take a fatal fall. Praise for The Widower's Wife: "One of those rare thrillers that really will keep you reading all night." -Kirkus starred review "Holahan once again creates a compelling heroine who can tap into bottomless reserves of strength when push comes to shove. A fast read for domestic-suspense fans." -Booklist "In this chilling cat-and-mouse tale...Holahan keeps the action going." -Publishers Weekly |
