About the Book
Desperate Deadly Widows
Powerhouse suspense authors Kimberly Belle, Layne Fargo, Cate Holahan, and Vanessa Lillie are back together for Desperate Deadly Widows, a crazy fun mystery that kicks off in a burst of ‘80s neon when Providence Mayor Tom Bradley is poisoned via compromised champagne at the Luna Lounge strip club . . . and the widows become the prime suspects in his untimely (but not exactly unwelcome) demise.
Krystal, Camille, Justine, and Meredith are back: Their shoulder pads are wider than ever, their stilettos are sharp as knives, and the suspect list for Mayor Tom’s murder is taller than their hair after a perm. The widows didn’t kill him, but their hands aren’t exactly squeaky clean. To clear their names, the widows need to find the real killer, but doing so means plenty of scandal, blackmail, backstabbing, murder, romance, party crashing, and even one miraculous yacht escape.
A smash-hit Audible original soon to be available from Sourcebooks Landmark in print, this second installment in the Young Rich Widows universe is perfect for fans of zany murder mysteries like Finlay Donovan is Killing It and Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone—off-beat, rip-roaring, laugh-out-loud funny, and totally unforgettable.
Hands down the most original thriller you'll read all year. Laugh out loud funny, twisty and full of surprises. —Wendy Walker, international bestselling author of What Remains
An ‘80s romp with big hair and even bigger secrets! Grab your popcorn and settle in for this incredibly fun and twisty read. —Jeneva Rose, New York Times bestselling author of You Shouldn't Have Come Here
I loved the interactions between the widows, both when they’re at each other’s throats, and when they learn to coexist with—and maybe even care for?—each other. —Megan Collins, bestselling author of The Family Plot
