   Is the widow a thriller?

   • Many thanks to Fiona Barton, Random House, and Netgalley for this copy in exchange for an honest review. The Widow is not a book filled with twists & turns so I wouldn't consider it a thriller. The Widow just has a simmering sense of dread through out the entire book.
