The Widows' Guide to Murder
The Widows' Detective Club #1
Amanda Ashby
This is the first book from Amanda Ashby that I have read, I will need to rectify that and soon, I loved this one from start to finish getting to know Ginny Cole and the widows she has met when she moves to the village of Little Shaw, come a long and meet the Ladies you are sure to be kept thinking.
When Ginny loses her dear husband, Eric she follows the plan they had for retirement and moves to middle cottage in Little Shaw here she decides that getting a job will be needed and before she knows it she is hired as library assistant at the local parish library where her boss Louisa is not a very nice person, her second day on the job she discovers Louisa’s body and here starts her sleuthing never realising that it was something that she would get into making friends with three other widows, Hen, Tuppence and JD together they make a formidable team and Ginny is soon doing things she never thought she would and what’s more getting on the wrong side of the law and pushing the Detectives buttons along the way.
It takes a bit, but Ginny is soon settling in to her new life in Little Shaw and loving her new friends and the cat Edgar who has adopted and her job at the library, as well as uncovering murderers, this is such a well written cosy mystery that had me thinking all the way through I was cheering Ginny and the widows on as they uncovered secrets and did their best to save lives.
This is the start of a new series and it is one that I would highly recommend, I loved it and book two is realeasing very soon, can’t wait to read it.
My thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for my digital copy to read and review.
