THE WIDOW

Author: Carla Neggers
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Published: 2006
Personal Rating: 2/5
Yearly Count: 88




Abigail returns to Maine to find the killer of her murdered husband, Chris. After only being married for 4 days, he was gunned down. Abigail is determined to solve this case that has remained open for 7 years.

I chose this book to fulfill the "N" Author requirement for the A ~ Z Reading Challenge. I only finished it for that purpose as well, because under other circumstances this would have become a DNF read. The storyline seemed like something I would enjoy, but the manner in which it was solved was not. The characters were unappealing and the assumptions made throughout the book were hard to swallow. I will not even attempt to read another Neggers book.

    I have tried twice to read a book by this author and couldn't get into her writing. This was one book. Glad to hear I am not alone. :)

  2. That sounds a bit like the book I'm reading now. Semi interesting premise, unappealing characters and assumptions that I'm questioning more than I'm just reading the book.

  3. J. Kaye ~ It was very good to read your comment. I like not being alone. :)

    Carrie K. ~ That's exactly where I was. I kept thinking - okay...so how does she know that or that was never said or etc. It was annoying to say the least.
