My original The Assassin’s Wife audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”

Eric Coles was dead, shot by a sniper. He died in Meg Coles arms.His last words telling her he was sorry, he wasn’t who she thought he was, and to get the wooden box and run for her life. Meg is now on the run with Neil, her neighbors brother(?). During the next few days she will become a fugitive. Someone very powerful is behind the murder and the attempts on her life. She quickly learns not to trust anyone but the people Eric told her to.

There was a lot of action in this story. It bounced around the upper northwest part of the states and even into Alaska. I checked up on some of the places mentioned and they were there. I really liked the Snake River and Hell’s canyon parts. It’s just as Weston stated.The one problem I had with the whole plot was that Meg, a drama professor with no gun or fighting talents, watched a video Eric left for her and was an instant Superwoman. Also, that she got into fights and just bounced back up and overcame the professional assassins. Just a little hard to believe. I’m not saying I didn’t like the book,
I did, but I did.

It started at the top of the rollercoaster, took off, and never let up. I started this audio book in the morning and finished in the evening. Just loved the audio. With the right reader you can live the action with the characters, and did Ms. Kitty ever deliver. Just loved the way she told this story. Her voice was clear and articulate. Brought them to life, it was fantastic.

I thought the cover was right on. The best action was on the river.

This is my first novel by Roger Weston, and I love his story-telling skills. Apparently I've been living under a rock since I haven't gotten acquainted with his work before. The fact that the author has spent time on many ships lends depth and credibility to the tale. His use of historical details adds a layer of interest to the story.

Professor Jake Sands is reminiscent of Indiana Jones with awesome fighting and sailing skills. He's a collector of Captains logs from old ships. When he gets the chance to explore the Queen Mary before it's final voyage, it leads him into a terrible conspiracy fraught with danger. The highly successful madman villain is totally believable and scary...It grabbed me from the beginning, and I read straight through. If you're looking for a fast-paced read, this will fit the bill....Five stars overall… (mer)
