The Widow

I started to read The Widow because of the political stuff that we are going through now. And I wanted to see how the author creates her mystery out of this.

I liked the idea of how Kaira started the chapters. With a little advice from a friendly spouse of a Congressman.

I had a whole thing planned out what to say about this book. I agree with the reviews sums up marriage, privilege, and oh so many lies!

Jody and Martin get married. The Ashers have it all. A daughter, the best seat in the place for a Congressman, and a nice house. What else do they want? Well we know Jody wants it all. Even after the death of Martin she finds a way to stay in DC

It was good to know Jody. How she came to what she turned out to be. Shame we didn't get to know her daughter Charlotte a little more.

What is a bit unbelievable is how the group of people VP, Mimi and Steve the best think tank. Or so it seems ;) all knew each other before the DC days.

I thought there might of been a bit more mystery. I thought there was something going on when Jody was giving her splash of eye drops to Martin. It wasn't what I thought. I guess Jody not having emotion gave to the allure of mystery with all her lies.

I wasn't surprised at an affair or who the woman really was. I was sad that it was long. The juice was in the beginning and early middle. A lot of what I like and thought about is in my Kindle highlights.

I thought of the proverbs that Mimi would say like "There cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two emperors on the earth."

Comes to the point of one winner. One thought. And "As distance tests a horse’s strength, time reveals a person’s character"

After a lost, in character to speak of, what is the time going to be? Are you going to be strong or weak? Last one. “When the winds of change blow, some build walls, while others build windmills.”

Always setting yourself up to be strong. Depend on you.

I can give The Widow 4_____>

I like the author and have read some of her other books and will continue on.
