The Widow by Fiona Barton
4.0

This is one of the first books I've read as I start to dive into the psychological suspense / thriller genre. I found Barton's story about a middle-aged widow of an alleged murderer/rapist and how she comes to terms with the crime both eery and unnerving, yet captivating. The novel is highly readable and fast-paced but slightly twisted. As a first novel for Barton, I think reading this book will only leave you anticipating her second novel to be released in May 2017. On that note, I would suggest this book to those who enjoy thrillers, but also to those who can stomach a rather distasteful subject matter.
