The Other Widow: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
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.

February 29, 2016
At the start of this overly contrived thriller from Crawford (The Pocket Wife), actress Dorrie Keating, who’s been sleeping with Joe Lindsay, her married boss at Home Runs Renovations, agrees to meet him late one snowy night in Boston. As they drive through the icy streets of the city’s Back Bay neighborhood in Joe’s old Audi, Joe announces that their relationship must end. When Joe speeds up, the Audi goes into a skid, flies sideways off Newbury Street, and hits a tree. Joe’s airbag doesn’t open, and he’s killed. Not wanting to be found at the scene of the accident, Dorrie extricates herself from the car, though she’s unable to avoid leaving evidence behind of a passenger. The circumstances of Joe’s death arouse the suspicions of Maggie Brennan, an insurance claims investigator, who believes that Joe may have committed suicide. The story alternates among the perspectives of Dorrie, Maggie, and Joe’s widow, Karen, none of whom emerges as a particularly well-developed character. The action builds to a pat and disappointing resolution. Agent: Jenny Bent, Bent Agency.
