be prepared to read this in one sitting!
Sara and Will are an excellent leading team and their backstories are well told so that even if you have not read any of their earlier books you still feel you know them well.
This book begins with a startling potential kidnap scene as Michelle witnesses a van pulling up in front of her daughter and the doors opening. Luckily she has schooled her daughter for such an event and Ashley runs away...only it turns out they were there for Michelle all along.
The case of Michelle being snatched is an intense search as she is rapidly identified as a specialist in infectious diseases that could be weaponised and the speed shifts from a kidnap to a potential terror threat.
As the story unfolds we meet a frightening set of people who firmly believe that the world need to be reset to white supremacy- a group made all the more chilling by the fact that there are documented cases of exactly these types of communities in existence today.
Sara and Will both get dragged further and further into the IPA as they try to find and rescue Michelle and prevent whatever atrocity it is that has been planned.
The pages of this book pretty much turn themselves and with every chapter and section ending on a cliffhanger there is not stopping place where you feel you can put the book down and return to it tomorrow!

This book has action from the start and was really hard to put down.

It again features GBI agent Will and Doctor Sara Linton and their relationship is a core part of the story. In chapter one a scientist is abducted while out shopping with her daughter. The case then builds from that moment.

The criminal intent behind the group is all too believable in the present climate, the only trouble I had was with Will going undercover, it just felt unrealistic. Having said that, I couldn't put the book down and really enjoyed it.

Wow! This is my thriller of the year so far and one of the best Will and Sara outings in a long time. There is real intense suspense right from the very first chapter. Five star summer rollercoaster all the way.

Tensions are high and the twists keep on coming in this fast paced addition to Will Trent's story. If you're a fan of the series, this book is everything you want and more - dark, disturbing and utterly compelling.

Slaughter switches the style up a bit this time, repeating key moments as she tells them from different points of view. This allows the reader to really connect with each of the main characters, even if they haven't read any of the previous books in the series, and keeps the writing feeling fresh.
The plot is chillingly plausible in today's world, and so many moments put your heart in your mouth it would be impossible to pick a favourite.
Possibly her best yet!

Praise as always to Karin Slaughter and her Will Trent novels, I've been reading the stories from the beginning and everyone has kept me hooked until the end, so I was so happy when I was given the opportunity to read the new book, 'The last widow' early, this novel is no exception to the others, the story builds up the suspense brilliantly, and even though it does have some challenging and darker subjects such as child abuse and rape it hasn't been gratuitously written as some authors would write it. Ms Slaughter has a way to her writing that leaves you wanting more and I can't wait for another instalment of Will and Sarah.

Thanks to Harper Collins and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to review this book. It was brilliant. I was hooked from the first page and was reluctant to tear myself away for inconvenient things like eating and sleeping ! This finds Dr Sara Linton and Will Trent in a situation with white supremisists. It is very frightening that there are groups like this linked to the terrorist horrors that occur in the modern world and shows how people can be utterly inhumane.. The story was complex and I sometimes had to reread sections to fully understand and keep up with the plot, but that is more to do with me being from the Uk and not au fait with US terms. Well researched and fast paced. Excellent.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the opportunity to read this book. I always enjoy Karin slaughters books. This one however was a bit hard to get into to be quite honest. So many people sharing their point of view. It got confusing trying to remember everyone. But as usual it didn’t disappoint. An absolutely brilliant book. Great storyline and good characters. Definitely worth 5stars.

Not the best Karin Slaughter book I have read, it took me a while to get into it and I must admit I did some skim reading just to get to the end.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins UK for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

It took me a long time to get through this one, it wasn't one of the best karin slaughter books that i've read. Whilst i saw it through as i wanted to know if Will and Sara escaped i felt i was skipping parts of dialogue that was just unnecessary.

This is part of a series of books, so you may need to have read the others to get a better understanding of the characters and their histories, although it is possible to read it as a standalone. Very exciting and keeps you on the edge at all times. Very well written and action packed from start to finish.

The Last Widow is another book in the fabulous Sara Linton and Will Trent series, this is Karin Slaughter back at her best and I hope this series just goes on and on.
Sara is abducted by a group of white neo nazi types that intend to cause havoc and hundreds if not thousands of deaths. Will is determined to find Sara and pulls out all the stops, not caring who he upsets, or at what cost to himself.
I don’t wish to give the plot away, suffice to say this is a heart pounding, page turning book.
Will continues to be the wonderful character you love and just want happiness for and Sara remains his rock.
So well written and descriptive, you can picture everything, some events almost too much that they leave you shocked and wide eyed.
Full of action, an absolutely cracking read.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Wow I loved the messed up nature of this book and how much it kept you guessing at what was was going on! Karin Slaughter once again hooks us in successfully!

I love Karin Slaughter books and read all Grant County and then Will Trent. I love the partnership between Will and Sara. I was so excited to read this one which I found gripping from start to finish.
Three main different character viewpoints are shown. Will is a strong silent presence Sara is a paediatrician and an agent with Will and Faith is Will's partner.
The book starts with Michelle a specialist in Infectious diseases being kidnapped No word is heard for a month then there is a massive explosion at the hospital with loss of life that brings everything to a head.
Sara is kidnapped with Michelle seen in one of the cars involved in a traffic accident near the explosion.
The story moves forward with input from each of the main players The terrorists are just that with paedophilia mentioned but thankfully not detailed.
I will say that I am not a fan of the same story being told by different characters viewpoints and found that quite confusing.
However I was so gripped by this and read it at every opportunity Would highly recommend

This book is action packed from start to finish, Will Trent and Sarah become embroiled in kidnapping, murder and terrorism! When Sarah is taken Will with the help of the GBI try to track down DASH the man behind all the atrocities. Can they track him down and save Sarah and stop him in his plans to destroy thousands of lives
Some topics uncomfortable but fitting for the cult type life they were all living in

Thoroughly enjoyed this adventure with Will and Sara playing their parts. My only concern is that this may be the last we see of this couple - which would be a great shame as I have become very emotionally invested in them over the years and Karin slaughter is one of my favourite writers. Many thanks for the ARC and if you're looking for a rollicking good tale - goodies versus baddies - this is the book for you.

A story that can make you smile,laugh cry,get angry and smile again is one in a million. This is one of the best,great characters and an intricate story,loved it.

I've read all the Karin Slaughter books and am starting to enjoy this new relationship of the two key characters - however, I was a little disappointed in this book. I'm more of a fan of the serial killer genre rather than thriller, and this fell into the latter category. It was well written and a reasonably easy read, although I did find it a little basic and patronising at times during the debates she was having with the white supremacist but overall, a reasonable book. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review.

Well t this is a gripping thriller is the first thing that hits me when I think of what to say, and yes from the start I truly was gripped..
The story is told from the Veiw of three different characters all believable and all with something special to offer. There is Will the strong silent type but still a great character he works for the GBI as a agent, then there is his GBI partner Faith and Wills partner in life Sara who is a medic that is also a agent / Government officer.
Michelle à specialist in infectious disease has been kidnapped and a month later all hell breaks out as a couple of bombs go of at a hospital as Will is just finishing cutting the grass at Sara's aunts home which is just down the road and we'll within a less than half a hour Sara has been kidnapped and the count of the dead is rising. Plus it appears that Michelle is in one of the cars that are invoked in a traffic accident near the site of the explosions. This collision is of importance as it is the first thing that Will and Sara encounter on route, and at the place that Sara is kidnapped. So what pursues is a bid to rescue Sara who is doing her part to help those she can and look for a way of getting free.
To start with the story tells the same story from the point of all the one chapter at a time from each of the hero's view-point or experience.. The hero's are great and the villains true unadulterated evil but you will be able to hate with a passion as you would a James bond villain.
This is a thriller that will help you escape from life for a few hours keep on the beach and on holiday or at home for a few evenings or a weekend guilty pleasure. I give it 5 stars because I genuine believe this book is 5 stars and we're not allowed to give 6. As I said before you have the same story bring told from three different angles and it works really well, Karin is a incredible story teller and makes a fantastic job that not many authors could carry out but she not only does but had excelled at it as you will see when you read it, well I hope you read it because it's a great thriller.

Wow i am so happy to be back in the world of Will Trent and Sara Lindon. They are two of my favorite characters ever written and this book proved why yet again. The powerful emotions Karin Slaughter evokes from them both is incredible and i felt it on every page as they struggled to get back together. The plot was rather different in this book and i loved how Slaughter explored this new world.

When I requested this book I didn’t realise it was part of a series. However, from reading it, I think it can be read as a standalone but it may be worth reading the other books in the series to get the back story on the main characters Will and Sara.
I struggled at the start due to Sara and Will’s POV which repeated pretty much the same as the other character. It got boring reading the same thing twice. But once we were away from the opening scene it was full of action and I did enjoy it.
This is the first Karin Slaughter book I have read and the plot was refreshing, although very frightening too as this could happen. It is not something I had read before.
I would recommend it
