I liked The Young Widows a lot. This is the kind of confusing, twisty thriller I like. I liked the fact the chapters are told from the viewpoints of different characters. I really enjoy books with multiple viewpoints. The pacing is spot on, and plenty happens to make you keep flicking the pages wondering what the truth is. The different viewpoints also makes sure you're never sure who to trust or where the book will go next. This is an excellent, pacy thriller.
