The premise sounds interesting, mainly because I enjoy psychological thrillers. However, I can't give a full review for an excerpt, sorry.

I read the excerpt for An Ambush of Widows by Jeff Abbott and oh my gosh I MUST know more! The teaser really hooked me starting with a cripic phone call and ending with an apartment light being on in an empty apartment. I cannot wait to read the rest of the book and see where Abbott takes the story! I already know it be a stay up super late to finish kind of suspenseful book!

After reading this two chapter excerpt from An Ambush of Widows, I'm really looking forward to reading the whole book once the library gets copies. It sounds like it'll be a twisty thriller. I haven't read much of Jeff Abbott's work but did enjoy the one book of his I did read.

Just from the excerpt, I could tell that this book would have lots of mystery, twists, and turns because of how it started. I am eager to read the rest of the story!

After just reading the excerpt, I cannot wait to read the full book. It sounds so good! I will be checking this out, when it releases! I read his last book and loved it, I know this one will be just as good!

The star rating is for the excerpt provided. Exciting set up for a double murder mystery, told from the perspectives of the two widows left behind. Neither understands who the man that was with her husband was, why they were together nor why they were killed. To make things more tense, one of the widows is being stalked by the hitman. Promises a good page-turner mystery!

This is very gripping and although difficult to review an excerpt, it has definitely made me want to read on and buy the book when it is published!

It is very difficult to review an excerpt . Sometimes books start very strong and then somehow lose their zeal .
That said,the beginning is very promising....

AN AMBUSH OF WIDOWS starts off strong. I like how the plot moves nice and quickly while at the same time giving us good insight into the characters. I'm so curious what will happen to Kirsten and Flora. I was surprised that we also get the point of view of the bad guy, but that does add a nice layer of tension.

Hint Of Explosive Storyline...
Secrets, lies and murder in this psychological suspense. Strong writing leads the way with well drawn characters and a hint of an explosive storyline. As this is an excerpt only it is impossible to judge further but this reader would definitely read on.

Thanks for the opportunity to read this excerpt. I will be looking for this book when it comes out. This teaser sets up a great story and I need to know the why and what happens to the 2 wives written about in these pages.

I just read the excerpt and I cannot wait to read the whole book when it comes out! It caught my attention from the first page and when the excerpt was finished, I was disappointed. I will be first in line for this one!

This was a VERY short excerpt that grabbed my attention right from the beginning. The good thing is that many books take a little bit of time as they start to set the stage and begin the world building, but I was intrigued almost from the first couple of paragraphs.

Unfortunately, we were only given a couple of Chapters. There were 2 POV from the wives of the two murdered businessmen and one surprisingly POV from the Assassin.

I am definitely interested in getting this book when it is published. I didn't think that such a short tease would have grabbed me as much as it did, so the bottom line was that it was extremely effective.

I just looked and the publish date is July 2021. Two months...I can wait that long....

Thank you to NetGalley for approving this ARC for me. All of the opinions expressed are mine and mine alone.

Well, it kind of sucks only getting to read just an excerpt from this book. It really has me intrigued to see how it all turns out. Great original premise for a book about 2 wives(widows) whose husbands are both murdered.. I can see this having a nice twist or two. Reading this short excerpt does really give much room to write much of a review. Anyway, can't wait to finish this if the publisher would be kind enough to send me a full copy. Whatever the case, I'm hooked enough after reading the excerpt that I will read the book in it's entirety.

I received this E-ARC excerpt from NetGalley for my honest feedback.

I devoured this excerpt! From the first page I am hooked. I am desperate to now read this book in it’s entirety. I can already tell in the first few chapters that this story gets juicy.

I didn't realize this was only a 14 page excerpt, that being said, the book definitely interested me and I would really like to read the rest.
