The Widowmaker - Hannah Morrissey

 The Widowmaker - Hannah Morrissey

She read

Release Date: Dec. 6, 2022

A damaged young woman is hired by a wealthy family to photograph their Christmas celebration and they seem to take an inordinate interest in her. A somewhat unorthodox policeman is handed a cold case involving this family when all he wants to do is solve the murder of his former partner. All of them are harboring secrets.


I’m not sure how I feel about this book.  It was an engrossing, fast paced read. Told from two POVs with a bit of a complex plot, many elements were a little too unbelievable for me.  This is the second book I have read in the last month involving very wealthy families behaving badly; I thought both were a bit over the top.  


If you enjoy a dark mystery/thriller and are willing to put aside disbelief, this may be a good choice.  


Trigger warning: childhood sexual abuse. 


Thanks to #netgalley and #stmartinspress #minotaurbooks for the ARC.
