Summary
He promised, until death do us part.
When bossy, loving, sensible Kate dies suddenly, her little sister, Rose, dutifully returns from a carefree life abroad to help Kate's widower and the two children Rose has never met. But she is unsettled to see no trace of her warm-hearted sister in the remote, dilapidated house, nor in Kate's cold, distant partner, Evan.
After stumbling across a message that only her sister could have left for her, Rose's unease around the circumstances of Kate's death turns to open suspicion, but she knows better than to ask the grieving widower for answers.
Determined to discover the truth of her sister's terrible last days, Rose has no choice but to keep looking. Eventually, she senses, the dark house will give up its secrets. But she is not prepared to admit that whoever threatened Kate's life might now be coming after her....

Critic reviews
"Gorgeous evocative writing." (Erin Kelly, author of He Said She Said)
"Echoes of Christie and du Maurier." (Sunday Times)
"The Widower seethes with atmosphere - I read the first half slowly, almost unable to bear the thrumming tension, and the second half at full pelt. Haunting and heart-wrenching, this book is reminiscent of Daphne Du Maurier." (Observer)

Very dull
Painfully slow. Characters were irritating. The ‘atmosphere’ laboured and the plot unconvincing. Sorry, but didn’t care enough to find out who did it.

Nothing happens for so long ..
Nothing happens for so long, then it’s like the author realises she needs to hurry on and finish the book, so every is crammed into the last few chapters.
