Synopsis

A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden. My husband is dead. I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car. My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back. So why do I still see his face everywhere I go? The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, unputdownable, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.

OMG, I had the time of my life! I laughed so hard my stomach hurt—guffawing, giggling, howling, and making all kinds of ear-piercing sounds! I literally fell off my chair after laughing too much, and I haven’t been able to stop for the past 20 minutes after reading this line: "I have locked you away.......more

3.5 Stars - ETA...I'm just gonna go ahead and round up. I've already cracked up laughing telling multiple people about this story today.

I face palmed myself so much reading this I’m now blue and black Was the satire in the room with us!? This was beyond satire; it was pure absurdity! Miss McFadden sprung upon us a new novella release (that truly came out of nowhere) that is about a woman named Alice who is grieving after the passing......more

Yea it was ridiculous as a satire novel would be but not funny at all. Is this like Gen X humor or what?😭......more

Freida should definitely keep those satirical novellas coming instead of churning out books like there's no tomorrow. But hey, will I probably still end up reading all the books she puts out? Probably..but take a chill pill every now and then, woman. Sheesh🥰......more
