The Wife and the Widow

Written by Christian White

Narrated by Caz Prescott

Set against the backdrop of an eerie island town in the dead of winter, The Wife and the Widow is a mystery-thriller told from two perspectives: Kate, a widow whose grief is compounded by what she learns about her dead husband's secret life; and Abby, an island local whose world is turned upside down when she's forced to confront the evidence that her husband is a murderer. But nothing on this island is quite as it seems, and only when these women come together can they discover the whole story about the men in their lives.

Brilliant and beguiling, The Wife and the Widow is another mind-bending power read from Christian White – a gripping tale of deception and sacrifice from Australia's most exciting new crime writer.

Absolute head spinner with the most fantastic twist. I’d give away too much if I said more, but this author is a favourite of mine now and truly, just read it!

Great story. Loved the little references to the Bellarine, where I live.
Couldn’t stop listening, audio novels are the best

Loved listening to this book and found it difficult to stop when necessary. A heart thumping climax . The author’s note said he “wanted to write something that would send the reader back through the book in search of all the clues they had missed”. Well I have to admit that I did exactly that. Success Mr White !!
I will definitely be looking out for book number three from this author
