About this listen

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

A former FBI special agent must come out of retirement to solve a murder in the fifth novella in the Widow’s Island series from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot.

Former FBI special agent Cate Wilde is a new bakery and bookstore owner - and retirement is now complete with a doctor boyfriend. Although she struggles with PTSD, the sweet life she’s living is a far cry from the gruesome work she left behind six months ago.

But when skeletal remains turn up on Widow’s Island - and the MO of the killer is too familiar to Cate - the dream comes to an abrupt end. What if the case she solved eight years ago isn’t as closed as she thought? Her hometown needs her, and despite her mental health and her boyfriend’s protests, she has no choice but to return to her dangerous past life.

Soon Cate is in a desperate race to stop a cold-blooded murderer from killing again, once and for all…only this time, she’ll have so much more to lose.

Love Widows Island

These are great short stories by Kendra Elliot & Melinda Leigh! Love them so much. The narrator though, isn’t one of my favorites. They’ve always had great narrators in the past.

Another great case

I really enjoyed this case. It had twists and turns as they tried to find the connection with the serial killer behind bars and what the connection is between the victims and Widow’s Island. The story definitely pulled me in from beginning to end and I can’t wait to see what is coming next.

Below the Bones

Short and just right amount of suspense for an afternoon listen while crafting. Cate has settled on Widow's Island and runs the Bakery/Bookstore and is as far from the FBI as she can get after leaving since suffering from PTSD. That is until skeletal remains show up and she is drawn into the investigation when all the clues lead to someone she put away years before. Definitely a good addition to this series.

Close to home

Fifth novella in Widow’s Island series, this one really hits close to home. This novella brings in a former coworker of FBI Special Agent Cate Wilde to assist Deputy Tessa Black. Cate is on extended leave but is called back into this case.
Dr. Henry Powers continues in the series as doctor and coroner for Widow’s Island and Logan Wilde, Cate’s brother, also appears again in this novella.

Short and good

I like these Widows Island short stories. They have mystery, humor and love all in a quick whodunit that gets solved. Fun!
