Kirsten North believes that her husband Henry, a software security consultant, is away on business in New York City. She receives a call from his phone and a stranger tells her that her husband has been shot dead in Austin, Texas. A quick online search reveals that this is a major local news story - successful venture capitalist Adam Zhang and an unidentified man were found shot and killed in an Austin warehouse. Kirsten immediately leaves New Orleans and heads for Austin. She is unaware that she is next in line to be murdered and the hit man is following her every move. Kirsten’s half brother Zach, who has ties to the mob, shows up in Austin to help. Soon Kirsten and Adam’s widow Flora decide to work together to uncover the mystery of their husbands’ deaths, even when they don’t fully trust one another.
An Ambush of Widows is a satisfying thriller you won’t want to put down. Author Jeff Abbott has created a strong cast of suspicious characters making this an effective whodunit that will keep you guessing. This is a slow burn book which takes its time to percolate but once it gets going, it will thoroughly entertain you as the pieces of the puzzle come together with some twists you probably won’t see coming.
