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. Review: A Hilarious and Clever Satirical Masterpiece! - A Hilarious and Clever Satirical Masterpiece! Freida McFadden has truly outdone herself with "The Widow’s Husband’s Secret Lie." This brilliantly written satirical novella had me laughing out loud more times than I can count! It’s not just a gripping read—it’s a witty and clever commentary that showcases McFadden’s unique ability to blend humor with suspense. The storyline is captivating, filled with unexpected twists and turns that kept me turning the pages. But what sets this book apart is the sharp, satirical edge that McFadden brings to the narrative. Her playful self-references, especially the nod to her book “The Boyfriend,” are pure genius and add an extra layer of fun for fans of her work. It’s rare to find a thriller that can make you laugh so much while keeping you on the edge of your seat, but McFadden manages to do just that with ease. The characters are quirky and memorable, each one contributing to the novella's charm and humor. McFadden’s ability to poke fun at herself and the genre, all while delivering a tightly plotted story, is nothing short of brilliant. It’s clear she had a blast writing this, and that joy is infectious as you read. If you’re looking for a book that’s not only suspenseful but also hilariously entertaining, "The Widow’s Husband’s Secret Lie" is an absolute must-read. Freida McFadden has crafted a satirical gem that’s as smart as it is funny, and I couldn’t stop reading—or laughing. Five stars for this delightful, laugh-out-loud thriller! Review: This was a fun, quick read - This was a fun, quick read. There were lots of laugh out loud moments, as well as many times where I had to roll my eyes. Despite its short length, this book has a decent plot and had me questioning things throughout. The main character was a little ridiculous at times, but I think that only added to the humorous aspects of the story. She confused obvious things on more than one occasion which often had me thinking she wasn’t super bright. Did I love this book, no. Was I highly entertained while reading it, yes. If you are looking for a non serious, quick and twisty mystery/thriller read this one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,381 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Fiction Satire #83 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) #118 in Domestic Thrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 57,214 Reviews | ## Images ![The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie: A Satirical Novella - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6182cUdgb+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hilarious and Clever Satirical Masterpiece! *by S***E on August 17, 2024* A Hilarious and Clever Satirical Masterpiece!
