This wasn’t my favorite. Multiple POVs but I didn’t like the timeline at all. There was entirely too much back and forth. There was definitely a good bit of suspense because the story was very drawn out. The title is a bit misleading because yes, there is a widow, but that’s about the extent of it. It really has very little to do with the actual plot. It was a more difficult book to get into and I wasn’t excited when I would go to open it back up. It’s not that this was a “bad” book, it just wasn’t for me. I didn’t disklike it so much that it was DNF but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it be high on your TBR.
