Publisher's summary

From Eliza Maxwell, the bestselling author of The Unremembered Girl, comes a gripping novel about the mysteries that haunt us and the twists of fate that can unravel them…

Living in the shadow of a decades-old crime that stole his children from him, reclusive Lars Jorgensen is an unlikely savior. But when a stranger walks onto the ice of a frozen Minnesota lake, her intentions are brutally clear, and the old man isn’t about to let her follow through.

Jenna Shaw didn’t ask for Lars’s help, nor does she want it. After he pulls her from the brink, however, Jenna finds her desire to give up challenged by their unlikely friendship. In Jenna, Lars recognizes his last chance for redemption. And in her quest to solve the mysteries of Lars’s past and bring him closure, Jenna may find the way out of her own darkness.

But the truth that waits threatens to shatter it all. When secrets are surrendered and lies are laid bare, Jenna and Lars may find that accepting the past isn’t their greatest challenge. Can they afford the heartbreaking price of forgiveness?

Good

I read so much...thought I would be tough when I figured out where this story was going. It was nicely written, not horribly dragged out, good charachters and well told by the narrator. I needed a tissue. Nice twist.

Carefully Woven Story

The Widows Watcher was a intricate story of the lives of three broken families. The twists and turns kept the reader so involved that you could almost see the lake, hear the creaky door, or even feel the treats flow ever so slightly down your cheek as you read. The hope of resolution and a second chance at life is the sum of the story.

The Widow's Watcher

I loved it from beginning to end. It drew me in and through the sadness of this women' s heart you grieved with her and understood the decission she wanted to make. Interesting carators and surprises along the way. The path she traveled lead her to finding her way back out of the black hole she had been thrown into. I highly recommend it.

Very emotional and heavy

While the writing and the narrating are great. The story is very emotional and heavy. Not a book I could stop listening to but not an easy listen at all.

Speechless

This was my first time listening the one of the authors 📚. I was so pulled to the narrator 's excellent voice of each person in the book! Between her and this story I fought with myself to stop listening at that time. OMG.. I was drawn so deep into the story! I was drawn in deeper and deeper as the story unfolded. Not thinking that it would pull me deeper, but it did!!
This book was excellent!
The Author is captivating! Fantastic AUTHOR!!!
