A novel of a shattering loss, an act of revenge, and a quest for redemption from the New York Times–bestselling author of Garden of Lies.
Alice Kessler has lived through a mother’s worst nightmare. While riding his bike, her eight-year-old son, David, was killed by a drunk driver. Out of her mind with grief and rage—especially after losing the wrongful death suit—Alice runs down the driver, Owen White, crippling him. After serving nine years in prison, she returns to Grays Island in the Pacific Northwest, divorced and destitute, to reunite with her surviving son, Jeremy.
But the child she has not seen in almost a decade has become an angry teenager, and when Jeremy is falsely accused of rape, White, who is now mayor, seizes his chance for revenge.
To defend Jeremy, Alice seeks the help of former Manhattan DA Colin McGinty, who lost his wife on 9/11 and returned to Grays Island after the death of his grandfather—an artist famous for his haunting portrait Woman in Red. As the story of the painting is revealed, the past becomes intertwined with the present, and Alice and Colin discover that they are bound together by a deadly wartime secret on the verge of being exposed.

Woman in Red edition by Eileen Goudge Literature Fiction eBooks
I haven't enjoyed a book as much as this one in a very, very long time. It was a love story for all time. And I do mean LOVE STORY. The story of Eleanor and William could've only happened back during World War II when people had more of a sense of honor than they do today sadly. Although, you get the same sense with Alice and Colin. I would like to THANK Eileen Goudge for writing this fantastic book that I finished in a half day,(I couldn't put it down) and also the Epilogue. It made it easier to accept the book's having ended.I look forward to Garden of Lies now.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Woman in Red edition by Eileen Goudge Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I loved this book and the way it was written going back and forth from the present to the past. The epilogue was wonderful. Put a really good ending to it.
Mystery, romance, and interesting characters lend Woman in Red a full adventure in reading. The characters lead the way and you readily follow along. Definitely worth the time.
I had discovered this author years ago with Garden of Lies and after reading a few more by her, I'd somehow stopped reading her and don't know why.
I'm glad that recently somebody mentioned her name because I love her writing and this book proved it.
A great story with realistic characters. I loved how the author wove the past and present in her story and I'd have to say it was one of the most satisfying endings I've read in a long time.
I already have Domestic Affairs and it's in my "to be read" stack. I'm glad to reconnect with this great women's fiction author.
Themes in this book love, courage, family, conservation,strength of purpose, and excellent character development. I will look for other books by this author.
This was a book hard to put down but I had to give it a 1/2 point off because of the sloppy research about the cardinal being in the San Juans (mentioned more than once) but 1/2 point added due to the setting (a fictionalized Orcas Island, called Gray's Island in the book). Basically it's about Alice Kessler who has just returned to Gray's Island after nine years in prison for attempted murder of the man responsible for the death of her young son. Arriving on the same ferry is Colin McGinty, a 9/11 widower there to settle his grandfather's estate. Alice needs to reconnect with the son she left behind, now a teenager who doesn't seem to want to have much to do with her, and facing ostracization from the community (the man she attempted to murder is now the town's powerful mayor). Interwoven is a poignant story from the 1940s which just happens to be about Alice's grandmother and Colin's grandfather.
I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys powerful family dramas -- it does get a little melodramatic toward the end and that kept it from being an 5-star read. But overall, I enjoyed it and it was a smooth, quick read and was never dull. Oh and my town even gets a brief mention toward the end!
It grabs your attention right from the first page. I ) a whenever read Mrs. Grudge before but guarantee this will not be my one and o only. Just need to go back to to see what is next on line. Thank you Mrs. Grudge for an extremely enjoyable two days of reading.
This was not an engrossing, cannot put it down kind of book, but it was not so awful that I could not read the entire thing either. If anything, the occurences were all too coincental to be realistic. The ending was also a little too happy and pit pat. The characters made numerous bad life decisions, but it all goes away and makes a happy ending. I enjoyed the world war two parts more than the present day and wish there had been more details and story in that time period. I related more to Eleanor in 1942 dealing with conflicting emotions about love, life, war and making the hardest choices a woman could make than I did with Alice in the present day, having run over a man with her one remaining son in the car, putting his life at risk to revenge the death of her other one. Otherwise, the book was well written.
