Description
Amazon Charts bestselling authors Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke make their suspense debut in this twisty, emotional thriller. Elementary school teacher Jacqueline "Jacks" Morales's marriage was far from perfect, but even in its ups and downs it was predictable, familiar. Or at least she thought it was...until two police officers showed up at her door with devastating news. Her husband of eight years, the one who should have been on a business trip to Kansas, had suffered a fatal car accident in Hawaii. And he wasn't alone. For Jacks, laying her husband to rest was hard. But it was even harder to think that his final moments belonged to another woman-one who had left behind her own grieving and bewildered fiance. Nick, just as blindsided by the affair, wants answers. So he suggests that he and Jacks search for the truth together, retracing the doomed lovers' last days in paradise. Now, following the twisting path of that fateful road, Jacks is learning that nothing is ever as it seems. Not her marriage. Not her husband. And most certainly not his death...

A great read; recommended for admirers of Jennifer Weiner and Rainbow Rowell." -Library Journal "Fans of Joy Fielding will appreciate the story's fast pacing and sympathetic main character....[a] solid psychological thriller..." -Publishers Weekly "Fenton and Steinke's talent for domestic drama comes through....For readers who enjoy suspense writers like Nicci French." -Booklist "A fantastic thriller that will keep you on your toes..." -Popsugar "Accomplished authors Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke make their suspense debut with great skill and assurance in this enthralling novel of marital secrets and lies, grief and revelation. The Good Widow led me along a winding, treacherous road and made a sharp, startling turn that I didn't see coming. Unputdownable!" -A. J. Banner, #1 Amazon bestselling author of The Good Neighbor and The Twilight Wife "Liz Fenton's and Lisa Steinke's The Good Widow begins by asking what you would do if your spouse died in a place he wasn't supposed to be in with a woman he wasn't supposed to be with. What follows is a gut-wrenching thriller, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes darkly funny, but always a page-turner. And as you read it late into the night you'll look over at the person in bed next to you and wonder how well you really know him. A wild, skillfully-written ride!" -David Bell, author of Since She Went Away "An irresistible and twisty page-turner, The Good Widow should come with a delicious warning: This is not the story you think it is." -Deb Caletti, author of He's Gone "The Good Widow is both heartrending and suspenseful, deftly navigating Jacks' mourning and the loss of her less-than-perfect marriage. The writing is sharp and evocative, the Hawaiian setting is spectacular, and the ending was a wonderful, twisty surprise. A quintessential summer beach read!" -Kate Moretti, New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Year "The Good Widow is a fresh take on your worst nightmare-your husband dies and he isn't where, or with who, he said he was. I ripped through these pages to see where Fenton and Steinke would take me, which ended up being somewhere unexpected in the best kind of way. You will not be sorry you read this!" -Catherine McKenzie, bestselling author of Fractured and Hidden
