The Other Widow

“The startling climax to The Other Widow is as unexpected as a car crashing into a tree on a silent snowy night.” —Mystery Scene It isn’t safe. That’s what Joe tells Dorrie when he ends their affair—seconds before a passing car sends them skidding into a tree in a blinding snowstorm. Nearly run down as she struggles from the wreckage, she is desperate—not only to keep her own marriage intact, but to figure out if someone’s trying to kill her. Karen knew her husband was cheating, but Joe’s death has left her in free fall. Trying to rebuild her life and cope with grief is devastating enough without the constant fear that someone is watching her, and knows her secrets . . . Insurance investigator and former cop Maggie Devlin is suspicious of the latest claim that’s landed on her desk—a man dying on an icy Boston road shortly after buying a sizable life insurance policy. Soon, layers of lies and deception begin to peel away, pushing these three women closer to each other—and to a terrifying truth. “An enticing thriller.” —San Francisco Book Review “Susan Crawford is a bright new star.” —Deborah Crombie, New York Times–bestselling author of A Killing of Innocents
