THE LAST WIDOW

Narrator Kathleen Early returns to bring listeners another addition to Karin Slaughter's series featuring Georgia Bureau of Investigations agent Will Trent and his colleague and lover, Dr. Sara Linton. The story kicks off with the abduction of an infectious disease specialist from the CDC; then Sara is kidnapped by a group of domestic terrorists. Slaughter takes an innovative approach to the storyline, recounting the same series of events in the same short time period through three different viewpoints. Listeners may find this confusing until they pick up on the narrative structure and the nuances Early provides to each perspective. In doing so, she masterfully differentiates the main characters and delivers a chilling depiction of the militia leader. A gripping listen. E.Q.
