'Set against the backdrop of an eerie island town in the dead of winter, THE WIFE AND THE WIDOW is a mystery/thriller told from two perspectives: Kate, a widow whose grief is compounded by what she learns about her dead husband's secret life; and Abby, an island local whose world is turned upside down when she's forced to confront the evidence that her husband is a murderer. But nothing on this island is quite as it seems, and only when these women come together can they discover the whole story about the men in their lives.' (Publication summary)
'In Tim Winton’s novel The Riders, Scully arrives at the airport to pick up his wife and daughter but only young Billie is there.

Yet this time it is more unsettling, the gash deeper.' (Introduction)
