They say sharing is caring, but sharing a husband? That’s a grave mistake.

And Hell hath no fury like three widows with a murder to solve . . .

Albert Franklynn’s sudden and mysterious death leaves everyone in the pretty village of Monksworthy in shock — especially his wife Sylvie, who runs the local tearoom.

But the real surprise comes at the mortuary, where not one, but three grieving widows show up to identify his body.

It turns out that Albert wasn’t just a devoted husband to Sylvie . . . He had two other wives as well.

As everyone reels from the revelation of Albert’s double — or triple — life, three widows reluctantly team up to investigate a mystery more tangled than the village’s gaudy bunting: who killed Albert — and why.

It turns out Albert’s list of enemies is longer than the village bake sale sign-up sheet. Can these three unlikely sleuths resolve their differences to become partners in crime-solving . . . before the killer writes them out of the story for good?

My Thoughts

This was one cozy fun  crime read. It is start of a new series too!

It was interesting to read how instead of going up against each other the 3 widowers banned together to help solve the crime of who murdered their husband. What could possibly go wrong!

The small village is everything you hoped it would be, good community, quirky shops and nosey neighbours. 

I liked how the characters were a mixed bag, some more vibrant and loud than others, some more plain and a mix in-between. I felt this really helped the plot too as it made you question what was everyones motives. 

The plot I feel at times did shift between solving the crime and the women's new found friendships and sometimes that took over the premise more. I actually did not mind this and enjoyed reading it. 

Most the loose ties that developed within the plot were nicely finished , however personally I feel there many have been a few details that could have been completed to round the book off. 

Overall  a really enjoyable read!
