What do you do when your husband dies suddenly in a car accident? How should you react when you learn a mystery woman was by his side? Where do you turn when your perfect marriage is now lying in tatters? For grieving widow Ellie Falkner there is only one option. Find out exactly who Milena Livingstone was & why she was in Greg's car.

What to Do when Someone Dies

In this ingenious standalone thriller from the internationally bestselling author and "razor sharp" master of suspense (People), a grieving wife is forced to ask: Which is worse--infidelity or murder? Ellie Faulkner's world has been destroyed. Her husband Greg died in a car crash--and he wasn't alone. In the passenger seat was the body of Milena Livingstone, a woman Ellie's never heard of. But Ellie refuses to leap to the obvious conclusion, despite the whispers and suspicions of those around her. Maybe it's the grief, but Ellie has to find out who this woman was--and prove Greg wasn't having an affair. And soon she is chillingly certain their deaths were no accident. Are Ellie's accusations of murder her way of avoiding the truth about her marriage? Or does an even more sinister discovery await her?

Duo team Nicci French impress with their thriller centering around a widow's obsession with her husband's death. 

Last year, I read a Frieda Klein novel. The Frieda Klein read lyrical, slow but a thriller worth savoring. "What to Do" reads like your standard fast-paced thriller. Great for me as I felt myself slumping this last week.
