 The Widows' Guide to Last Orders

The Widows' Detective Club #4

Reviewed by Helen


We are back in Little Shaw with The Widows’ Detective club, things have been a bit quiet and the ladies have been adhering with DI Wallace’s wish to stay out of things but when their Merry Widows trivia team are at the pub The Lost Goat and the barman is found dead in the cellar after going to change a keg, the police say is was death by misadventure but the ladies think otherwise and well the ladies cannot help themselves and this time their murder board is a stack of old beer coasters, let the investigation begin.

The victim Nathan has moved to Little Shaw apparently to trace his great aunt who lived in Little Shaw back in 1963 it appears that she vanished that year as well and what the ladies uncover from gossip will lead them to spies, to uncovering code and priest holes there is a lot of digging into local history, but when there is another murder DI Wallace is soon it appears working with the ladies but will they find out who the killer is and uncover the sixty year old mystery?

This is another awesome story in this fabulous series that had me thinking all the way through the characters are so good, as always Ginny, Tuppence, JM and Hen used the clues and their instincts to get the answers.

I loved this one and highly recommend it to any lover of a good cosy mystery, I am looking forward to more visits to Little Shaw in the future.

My thanks to Storm Publishing and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
