About this item

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

In the fourth Widow’s Island novella, the truth of a twenty-year disappearance will finally come to light.

When the town drunk ends up dead in a hit-and-run, FBI special agent Cate Wilde expects that solving the case will be cut and dried. But evidence quickly surfaces that the victim was involved with another crime. A crime that has gone cold for twenty years. A crime of personal importance to Cate.

Cate’s best friend, Samantha, went missing at fourteen, leaving behind nothing except a jacket and an island full of unanswered questions. Samantha’s disappearance has haunted Cate for more than half her life, and she might finally be able to find some closure.

But not everything is as it seems. As Cate unravels what happened on that fateful day, she’ll discover that the community of Widow’s Island is full of secrets. Betrayed by someone she thought she knew, Cate will need to piece together the truth…before someone else gets hurt.

I love these short books. I feel as I’ve visited Widow’s Island and its islanders! I also love a good mystery - onward to book 5.

The third book continues with Cate and Tessa starting to ask questions into Samantha’s disappearance. There is a third murder. A hit and run. Poor Henry thought he was getting the quiet life on the island. It has not been quiet lol
Cate is still healing from her GSW. Having severe anxiety about going back to work and where that will leave her and Henry.
Finding a clue durning the hit and run investigation leads to more clues about Sam’s disappearance. I wasn’t expecting several things to happen in this book so that was fun!
This novella series is great. I’m really enjoying it !!

We go back to our FBI agent Cate still at home recuperating from being shot, being wooed by our town doctor Henry. We love the forward progress with our couple. The mystery "Biting my Knuckles" so good and didn't expect the end from the beginning. Unfortunately with novellas, can't say much with out giving info away. NEXT!

Solid installment in the series. Content warnings for rape, kidnapping, and child abuse for those that need it. Didn't expect it and wanted to warn those reading the series.

Still feels like the romance is shoehorned into the stories. This is book four and it's only been about a month on the island, yet there's a lot of fated matenees for the romance. Too quick and not enough build up. Takes away from the crime.

I liked the secondary plot more than the initial.

These are short but well written. I can’t put them down. Tessa and Cate find Samantha after 20 years. Best friends are back.

Too short for it to be the next book. Not enough of everything to be a complete story. Hope the next one is better.
