A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden.

My husband is dead.

I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.

My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.

So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?

The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, binge-worthy, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.

This hilarious “murder mystery” had all the elements that make Freida’s books so wonderfully suspenseful. Her tongue in cheek satire made my day! Laughed till I cried!

Funniest thing I have read in ages!

The story is pretty convoluted and strange. Not really that much satire just some cultural "winks" that are mildly humorous. The story goes a long way to get to a single punchline which is never that funny. Voice talent is excellent.

A few smiles but no LOLs

This wasn’t my favorite Freida McFadden book. The storyline was too far fetched and unrealistic. The narrator was the best part.
