At the risk of sounding like yet again another broken record, I absolutely loved this book! I have said this so many times in my reviews this year and have genuinely meant it each and every time. The caliber of books I have read so far in 2020 have been outstanding and Two Widows is another one that falls into that category! This book had me right from the start. It is a mystery that had me entangled in its web, never letting me go until the final page. There is nothing better than reading a story were you have absolutely no idea where it is heading and how it is going to unfold and come together. Laura Wolfe does a fantastic job at keeping the reader in the dark throughout and right up until it’s satisfying ending. I enjoyed all the characters in the book and each have been written perfectly. I was immediately drawn to Gloria and my heart went out to her. Oh my goodness, the sadness falls off her in spades and she really got under my skin. She is a gentle soul that made me want to reach into my kindle and hug her tight. Beth is an intriguing character and I enjoyed how I was kept second guessing her intentions, as well as being taken back into her past where along the way we learn more about her and her motivations. She is very complex with many layers and Laura Wolfe has done a great job in bringing her to life. The story moves at the right pace giving you enough along the way to keep your interest and hold your attention. Laura Wolfe expertly weaves in the tension and suspense, leaving it to slowly bubble away in the background until it reaches boiling point! It is both a sad and thrilling tale and one that I could have quite easily read in one setting if life hadn’t rudely got in the way! Everything about this book is on point. From the sinister vibe of the cover, the mystery which is very well plotted, executed and compelling, a great host of diverse characters and themes, that is all wrapped in writing that is both so engaging and captivating, you could not ask for any more from this book! It is definitely one that needs to on you reading list stat! Laura Wolfe is a new author to me and one I am so glad that has popped up on my radar! Two Widows is one ripper of a read and I will be eagerly awaiting her next mystery. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to read and review Two Widows which I highly recommend. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and Laura Wolfe for allowing me to read an advanced copy of Two Widows which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I haven't read this yet as I've waited and waited for it to arrive. I have emailed now 4 times and no reply. So I cancelled it. I received acknowledgement if the cancellation and then, I get an email telling me its dispatched. Absolute shocking way of treating people. Zero communication Will not be ordering from Waterstones again.
