The Widow by Valerie Keogh

-

I’m on tour today with Rachel’s Random Resources with The Widow. I’ve read the authors books before so I knew I was in for a treat.

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, Alison must try to keep her own dark past buried.

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

Review:

I love these type of thriller/suspense books. They keep you guessing and so many twists and turns you can get dizzy!! I stopped trying to guess the ending early on in the book and just enjoyed the read. Allison wants to marry for money and not for love. Sometimes this means she has to change herself to make her more appealing, which she doesn’t mind doing because it will be a short term change. She does not expect the marriage to last long. 

There are a few main stories within this book and they are tied together very well. This is a quick read and I’m glad because I didn’t want to put it down. There is a lot going on in this book and it makes an enjoyable read.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il
