The Widower's Wife by Cate Holahan


The Widower's WifeInsurance Investigator Ryan Monahan is brought in to assess an accidental death claim. Ana Bacon, a young wife and mother has tragically fallen to her death from a cruise ship. The policy has a 10 million dollar pay-out in the case of accidental death. Although Ana’s husband has a solid alibi and there are witnesses to Ana’s fall, the things Ryan uncovers make her death seem suspicious.

The central characters of Ana and her husband,Tom, are well-written – to the point that I really despised Tom. Ana could at one moment invoke sympathy and at other times astonishment at her naivete. The character of Ryan Monahan was not as developed as I would have liked.

The book was a good read even if you could see the twist a mile off – but it was fun getting there.

Rating: 3.5 stars
