A review by jnordgren
The Widow by Fiona Barton

2.0

I really wanted and expected to enjoy this book--and did up until the last quarter. Instead of a suspenseful, twisty-turny ending, there's a very slow, very obvious reveal. I can't decide: was this book meant to be a suspense but failed to deliver, well, much of anything after the build-up? Was it intended as a character study that fails to be insightful or interesting? I wish it hadn't been so disappointing.
