The Doctor's Widow: A completely unputdownable and addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist (The Doctor's Wife Book 2) (edition 2023)
She trusted him. Now she's paying the price... I loved my husband, Doctor Drew Devlin, but he betrayed me. And now he's dead. As I put the key in the lock and open the door to the luxurious new home I've purchased with Drew's life insurance money, I'm certain the worst days are behind me. My secret is safe, and I can't wait to enjoy my new wealth and freedom. Then I meet handsome Roger. I wasn't looking for a relationship but as we spend our evenings drinking wine on my sunny terrace, I realise he's just what I need right now. Roger is nothing like Drew, he's spontaneous and romantic. And most of all, he's honest. He thinks I'm a rich, lonely woman. He's wrong of course, there's so much more to me... But then one night, when we're curled up in bed together, Roger says something that makes my blood run cold. I think he knows the truth about my life as the doctor's wife. I will do anything to stop my past from catching up with me... But is Roger really who he says he is? Or is my life now in danger? An absolutely gripping psychological thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists from the number one bestselling author of The Doctor's Wife. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train you'll be hooked on The Doctor's Widow???What readers are saying about Daniel Hurst: 'OMG... binge read!... WOWZERS!...

This is Book #2 in The Doctor’s Wife series. In the first book, Fern murdered her cheating husband, Dr. Drew Devlin and framed his lover, Alice, for the crime. Having enlisted Alice’s husband to help her, she also killed him, making it look like a suicide. Now she is happily spending Drew’s very large life insurance policy money and a new man has entered her life. But, is he truly who he says he is? Or will he be her downfall?
I enjoyed the first book in this series; I thought it clever and entertaining. This one, a true sequel, not as much. I did like the chapters written from alternating POVs, learning the inner thoughts of all the main characters. While Fern wasn’t all that likable in the prior story, she was presented as even shallower and more one dimensional in this one. Some of the motivations of the characters were a bit incredulous. Despite this, I couldn’t put the book down. The ending set up a third installment in this series. I’m not sure I care enough to pick it up unless there is a really original plot twist…which is what I am hoping for!
