About this listen

One dead wife is tragic. Two looks like murder…

Welcome to Lowbridge. Where secrets hide behind every door…

When newly divorced Jude arrives in the small town of Lowbridge, she is soon drawn to widower Will, the father of her young daughter's best friend.

But Will's past is shrouded in tragedy, with questions that no one knows the answer to – and after two tragedies tore his life apart in just a few short years, gossip and rumours abound about what really happened to the women he loved.

As whispers of murder surround Will, Jude becomes determined to uncover the truth – and with her own father's tragic fate haunting her, she refuses to let another innocent man suffer.

Yet in Lowbridge the darkness runs deep, and nothing is as it seems. Can Jude protect Will from a community out for blood? Or will she become the next victim in this web of deceit?

Because whilst one dead wife is tragic, two starts to look like murder…

I really liked the variation of characters but felt the ending was rushed in comparison to a drawn out middle

a little hard to follow

even though at times I got confused about who was doing what to and with who, I did enjoy this book. it was twisty, turny and entangled; bitchy; back stabbing and yet loyal. I loved the way it all came together at the end.... then that final little question.

a convoluted web
