A review by alisonb
The Widow of Weeping Pines by Amanda McKinney
5.0
"Sometimes I wish my husband would die".
With twists and turns and a main character that is fascinating and dark, this book had me hooked from the very first line.
Betts is our sort of reliable main character. She lives in the small town of Weeping Pines where she moved with her late husband, and no one really likes her. But, she found a way to be accepted by some people through her unofficial therapy sessions in the basement of her home in the woods. As Betts shares her interactions in the past and present with a handful of other characters, we begin to see a pattern emerge and more questions came to the forefront of my mind. I did not want to put this book down-I wanted to see how everything would unravel and play out, and I was not disappointed!
The chapters are tidy and concise and the book is the perfect length. This made for a fast and thrilling reading experience. I can't share much more because I would be spoiling the rest of the story and I highly recommend going into this story as blind as possible. If you are up for a unique domestic/psychological thriller with a feminist edge, then I highly recommend picking this book up immediately. As for myself, I can't wait to read the next book in this collection!
I read and reviewed an eARC of this book thanks to the HH Tisevich via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
