Did you read all of the above? Did it seem as if I went on and on without actually Saying anything? Or, did it seem as if I’d missed a pertinent point? Or went into too much detail? Yes? Well, brace yourself, there is A LOT of that in this book! Plus, the characters are all from The Deep South - so they speak slowly - I had to adjust the narration speed to 1.2 for it to seem normal for me! (I listened to the audiobook version of this title). In a year with tensions high regarding Muslim extremists, gun control, and police culture, the cops think that it's obvious that Marine Officer James Muhammad Turik was part of an ISIS cell. I enjoyed this, but the prose seems a touch repetitive, and the location/costume descriptions are a bit over-egged. A bit more spare and the pacing would have been excellent.

Debnath, Neela (15 January 2019). "The Widow on ITV air date, cast, trailer, plot: When does The Widow start?". Express. Northern and Shell Media . Retrieved 28 January 2019. The search for Will takes Georgia to Rwanda. On her arrival, she prepares to finally learn the answers about what really happened to her husband, but is not ready for what she finds there.Georgia Wells lives alone in a cottage in the Welsh countryside. While watching a news story about civil unrest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she sees a man that she believes is her husband, who presumably died in a plane crash three years earlier. Still haunted by the past, Georgia travels to the Congo to find out the truth. This is further enhanced by narrator Aden Philip Ormond's excellent interpretation of this lead protagonist. The reading is well paced, not too fast, not too emotionally imbued but just right for the military trained loner rediscovering his past and his understanding of just how much he owed to his mother in the last precious moments they are able to have together. Her death is his new beginning as sets out in search of her killer. With expression and good intonation, Orson's pleasant rough velvety voice also gives individual life to each of the other characters in the book also. Writer and narrator in harmony together.

The implications of the reveal in that chapter had me scanning my memory banks of every Reacher book for the one, in particular, that would provide the answers to all the questions running through my mind. He recognizes a total stranger, but from where? The stranger goes by one name but has the face of another.Taken-to-be a worthless drifter by the locals, Widow uses his skills to uncover the truth. What he finds is a distraught husband, a missing wife, and townspeople harboring a deadly secret--a secret they'll die to protect. Widow passes through DC. Hanging out, reading the morning paper. He learns about a homeless vet found burned alive on a park bench. The Vet has no known family. No one’s expected to attend his wake. Widow must go. Taken to be a worthless drifter by the locals, Widow uses his skills to uncover the truth about his mother’s last investigation. What was she looking for? Georgia and Adidja make a journey deep into the Congolese wilderness that yields unexpected consequences. Meanwhile, in the search for answers about the plane crash, Martin puts himself and Ariel ever closer to Azikiwe's dangerous path. I personally like the feeling of familiarity, the comfort of knowing that I'm in for an enjoyable read and I wasn't disappointed.

Finally, a note on the careless writing or editing that parts of the story exhibit: one example of the carelessness rendering a passage meaningless or nonsensical. A supreme leader of North Korea had a relative killed; it was done by a poison: "It killed him by simply touching someone who had it smeared on fabric." Turns out that the US government needs Widow's help. He's the only man alive to ever survive an encounter with their only suspect: a whisper, a phantom, a ghost sniper, known as Rainmaker. Some local townspeople want to blame Muslims. The politicians want to blame guns. The outside media only care about the headlines.

The world record for longest range of a sniper kill shot. Ever. No contest. No question. What happens when a new sniper comes along and takes out the world's top shooters from further away? Terror. Widow soon decides he needs to put his head on a pillow for a few hours, asks the waitress for the location of the nearest motel, and sets out to get himself some much needed sleep. It soon becomes apparent that Widow maybe the only one looking at the facts and not the assumptions. Gaining the trust of the people he will need to right this wrong won't be easy. There's a lot of tension and a case like this makes or breaks careers.

Andrews AFB to Lakenheath is 3,600 miles. A five hour flight would have a top speed of around 800 mph That's the way I did it and just like Netflix, it's so satisfying to be able to binge on a series knowing that there's another one, except in this case it's the last one, for now. Widow finds himself in Texas sitting at a steaming hot bus station waiting for a bus to someplace else. While waiting, he starts chatting with Claire, Hood, an elderly woman who looks rather distraught. She is looking for her missing granddaughter. Her son, who recently was released from prison has scooped her up and skipped town. Before Widow can get all the details, Claire drops dead of natural causes. Judith arranges a lift for Georgia with a group of medical aid workers, but the volatility of the region threatens to derail their journey. Pieter forces Adidja to partake in a terrifying exercise, while Ariel must confront the horrors of his past.The author also has an Irish detective assert: "'All weapons are legal in America,'” to which Widow doesn't reply because, "They weren’t wrong." Such erroneous ideas beg the question of what country is the author's home. Also worth considering: why the author didn't do any research; he went so far as to look up a particular sniper rifle on the Internet. On arrival he upsets the local cops (obviously) and the local gang of nutcases (obviously) and of course starts a relationship with a lady doctor at a local clinic. And then the bad guys roll in to clean up their mess and the body count rises. Before long our hero is taken in to be interrogated, let go, asked to help, escorted out of town, tried to be beaten up, before giving in to helping the MPs with this case. But that's all I'll write on that. I did enjoy this book, and I really wanted to give it three stars, but there are too many technical errors and such. Weirdly enough it seemed the second half was more polished than the first half, and Widow seemed more believable as Blade got the hang of the character. The writing became tighter, too.
