Lynda LaPlante continues the story of four very different women who were introduced in Widows. Dolly, Linda and Shirley were widowed when their husbands were involved in a heist that went wrong. They recruit Bella when they decide to complete what their husbands started. A major problem arises when they discover that Dolly’s husband Harry is alive and he is now looking for them.
From Rio to London, the women keep one step ahead of Harry. An attempt to buy him off ends in the death of one of the women and Dolly knows that they must find a more permanent solution. When they discover that Harry is planning another heist it may be the opportunity that they are looking for.
Even though they worked together to commit the heist, they are now distrustful and often resent Dolly, who took charge of the money until it could be laundered. Harry’s return adds to the frayed nerves and bickering but they must once again work together to succeed against Harry.
While this is a follow-up to Widows, the book opens with a synopsis of the first book that allows readers who have not read the first book to jump right in to this story. Harry is pure evil and the interactions between the women occasionally becomes grating but I found myself rooting for them to succeed.
I would like to thank Bookish First for providing a copy o this book for my review.
