There was a lot about this book that made me stop and put it down at times. It was a lot. There is something about Slaughter's writing style that pulled me back in.

The Last Widow is an incredible read that contains a lot of heavy topics and subject matter. TW: child abuse, sexual abuse, rape, kidnapping, alt-right nazi ideology, cult.
Michelle Spivey is having a usual day out with her daughter shopping when she is abducted from the parking lot. Spivey is a scientist at the CDC, and will be a very key component to what’s to come next. Authorities are having a hard time determining why and who took her.
Will and Sara are visiting with her family when multiple bombs go off, at hospitals and other vital establishments. Due to the nature of their professions they rush off to attempt to help in any way they can. However, they end up on the scene of a traffic accident that seems suspicious. Sara ends up being kidnapped as well, and Will ends up injured.
Will is desperate to find Sara, and with help from his coworkers at GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation), and the FBI to locate Sara and Michelle, because at this point at the very least they know their kidnappings are connected.
When Will goes undercover it’s a race against time as he tries to get close and shut down the unknown far right domestic terrorist act that is in motion.

Slaughter is definitely an author I gravitate to, but I definitely need to read her in moderation because her stories can be heavy!
