Mallory's Reviews > The Widow

I’ll admit I went into this one completely blind. I had heard great things about this author and the cover was intriguing. I will admit I don’t usually go for political themed books, but I have to say this was better than expected once I realized exactly what I had gotten into. I liked the voices the narrators had (even if there were no likable characters in this story in my opinion at least. I really liked the tips that were strewn within the story I thought that was a unique touch. I didn’t find the twists as sharp and twisty as I might have liked but there were bits I hadn’t figured out which is always fun in a thriller. Politics is a dangerous game which one woman finds out when she uses the widow rule to run for her deceased husbands seat in congress. Overall I gave it 3.5 stars rounded up for being the kind of story I had to finish at one time.
