About this listen

A BRAND-NEW totally addictive psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming.

Just when I thought I’d got my life back together, a handsome stranger moves in across the street. He says he lost his wife six months ago. He says he’s here for a fresh start. But I think he might be a killer.

Three months ago, a serial killer tore through our perfect little community. But he’s dead now, and I’m doing my best to pretend everything’s normal — pot roasts, Pilates, and that my stepson TJ didn’t upend our lives the minute he arrived.

That was before the new neighbour moved in.

Damian Mankiewicz is a good-looking, friendly, charming widower. But there’s something off about him. The box in his hallway marked Do Not Open. The house he bought — the one where a girl was found murdered. And the way he always seems to be watching.

When a local teenager goes missing, the whispers start all over again. About TJ. About me. About what really happened here.

I’ve already been through hell once. I’m not doing it again. If the widower is hiding something, I’ll find out — before someone else disappears for good.

A jaw-dropping thriller about secrets, suspicion, and the dark side of suburbia. Welcome to The Estates.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Valerie Keogh and T.M. Logan.

‘The Widower’ actually has a prequel called the ‘The Stepson’. This book continues the story and does a decent job at recapping the events from previous book. Overall, the story was average and the twist was a bit confusing. The ending felt rushed, Although, the epilogue explained the ending and also left sort of an open ending to the story, encouraging possibilities for another book.

Has a prequel, average story and decent ending

time waste

This story has so many loopholes, impossibilities,and the world’s densest lawyer. Timelines don’t work. Stupidity incriminating behaviour, pathetic police, unbelievable parenting and a child who leaves no DNA while murdering women because some random women asks him to who then decides the brightest thing to do is move in next door to her with his stranger dad and his wife (her best friend!!!!). There are SO many holes in this story it makes fishing net look like lead.

Really silly, pointless ‘plot’
