Über diesen Titel

There is no perfect marriage. There is no perfect murder.

Diana Jager's life crumbles when her details are released on the Internet as revenge for her antisexism blog. Then she meets Peter. Within six months, they are married. Within six more, Peter is dead in a road accident - a nightmare end to their fairy-tale romance.

But Peter's sister, Lucy, doesn't believe in fairy tales and tasks maverick reporter Jack Parlabane with discovering the dark truth behind the woman the media is calling 'Black Widow'.

I read the novel years ago and decided to re"read" it as an audiobook. I'm pleased to say I liked the audio version just as much. It's not what I'd call a "typcial" Parlabane, but it's an excellent thriller in its own right. It can be read / listened to as a standalone, you don't need to know Parlabane's backstory (though the books are a lot of fun and therefore highly recommended!).

The title refers to Diane Jager, a somewhat frosty surgeon suspected of murdering her husband. Thanks to the three different POVs the story gradually comes together like a jigsaw puzzle. This narrative technique isn't exactly new, but when it's done well, it makes a good story even better. And in "Black Widow" it's done very well indeed. The author's playing mind games with his readers, misleading them more than once. I love it when a plot twist manages to surprise me!

The two narrators were very good, though I found Angus King's accent a little difficult to understand at times. (I'm not too familiar with Scottish accents. I do like hearing them, though.)

Excellent thriller

OMG - such a great book!. I found it a highly intelligent, unpredictable and well written crime story. It’s part of the Jack parlabane series but can be read as a standalone. I cannot recommend it highly enough!!!

One of the best!!
