An Ambush of Widows by Jeff Abbott
3.0

Read Completed 10/20/23 | I love the title of this book and the first chapter pulled me in right off the bat. The book kind of went back and forth between being interesting and being a little boring, though. There were some good twists, great concepts, and surprises that I didn't see coming (though maybe I should have) and yet, this just didn't turn out to be a memorable read. I didn't really feel connected to the characters like I wanted to and just wasn't thrilled with the pacing. 

I also wasn't super thrilled with topic in general? It was okay. I guess I'm more drawn to domestic thrillers and this ventured off into different avenues, which is nice to have a change of pace! I just didn't connect with it in this particular book, and things also started to get a little wild towards the end.
