About this listen

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.

Satire Novel- not meant to be serious

This book was a quick read and was entertaining! Funny, ridiculous and kept me wanting to know more. It’s a satire novel- it’s not going to be like her other books it’s meant to be humorous and ridiculous.

I didn't want it to end

I don’t know if I could ever love short stories more than this author’s. If it were 10 minutes, I would buy it. A lifer.

Blue and Black or White and Gold

WOW! Great use of a social media trend to write a story around… this is a quick read and very entertaining. True Freida fashion. Loved it!

Hilarious

A good laugh for anyone who typically enjoys psychological thrillers. I’ve listened to so many of her books, but this one made fun of just about all of them.

the part that stood out in my brain is the color of the dress, how different people see different colors.

Awesome story!! Unfortunately too short. I will love to read a continuation of this story with the 3rd brother.
