The Missing Widow is a psychological thriller set in America.
Meghan is devastated by her husband’s illness but cannot fulfil his last wish to end his suffering, Yet she still finds herself accused of murder and runs away to go into hiding with their son Ashton. She settles into her new life but never manages to fully relax. A year later her situation is as tense as ever and she wants to prove her innocence while also finding the truth.
I was absolutely gripped by this book. Meghan is put into a terrible situation and her in laws were the most dreadful people. I was so cross with her husband for not standing up to his parents but his cancer battle is heartbreaking. The dilemma she faces on whether to help him die is a huge emotional load and very thought provoking.
Meghan needs to battle to find the truth whilst also staying safely incognito. The plot is delivered at a swift pace and I devoured the pages in a single afternoon. The tension is maintained right to the end.
The Missing Widow is an emotional and gripping psychological thriller.

I thought we would be safe here. But I was wrong.
My son Clark and I live in a beautiful cabin outside a rural town, somewhere nobody will find us. I could not have found a more perfect place to start over, shielded by the trees and far away from prying eyes. But when I find a newspaper clipping on my porch, it drives fear into my bones. Widow wanted for murder screams the headline. And that’s my face in the picture, circled with red marker. I look out into the forest, but I can’t see anyone. How did they find me? And what do they want?
I don’t know where to run next, or how to make sure my son is safe. And deep down I know the only way I can finally be free is to find out what really happened that night a year ago, when my dear husband
Brett died.

Liz’s story began in a refugee camp in Angola, where she spent the first eight years of her life. After that, she spent some years in Namibia (her home country), South Africa, and Germany. She now lives in Vienna, Austria, with her husband and two children. Liz wrote her first full-length novel at eighteen and hid it in a box under her bed. Several others soon followed it. Her passion lies in writing edge-of-the-seat psychological thrillers that give readers the same rush they would get on a rollercoaster.
