The Widows' Guide to Backstabbing by Amanda Ashby

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "The Widows' Guide to Murder” the 2nd instalment in The Widows’ Detective Club Mystery series by Amanda Ashby set in the Village of Little Shaw, England.

Ginny Cole doesn’t want to be a widow. She’d rather not be forcibly adopted by an opinionated black cat. And she’d give anything not to have just found the murdered body of her rude and dislikeable new boss…

So she’s as surprised as anyone to realise that she doesn’t hate being on the wrong side of the law, searching a graveyard for evidence in the company of three fellow widows, and doing a whole host of un-Ginny-like things in order to solve a fiendish mystery.

It was a bumpy start, but Ginny might even be starting to like her new life. Certainly well enough that when her sleuthing puts her too close for the killer’s comfort, she’ll do whatever it takes to hold onto it…

If you love Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Robert Thorogood and The Thursday Murder Club mysteries, you’ll adore this charming cozy mystery full of page-turning twists and endearing characters.

Once again I loved the story and Im still enjoying the bond between the four widows, and i am glad that Connor was hired by the library .   I love her cat and his personality is to die for the little thief.  I also like the quirky characters and the sense of community in Little Shaw.

The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and had plenty of twists to keep engaged right to the very end. I kept guessing and second-guessing myself but I guessed before Ginny did.

Overall, this book is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries and heartwarming fiction. Amanda’s writing is engaging, and her characters are lovable and well-crafted. I highly recommend this charming novel and look forward to the next instalment.
