Widows kicks off with a botched armed truck robbery that leaves three men dead. The men leave behind their wives who have to deal with their sudden death. Dolly, the ring leaders wife discovers his ledgers that include names and plans for every crime he has committed and plans he had yet to execute. Included in the ledger is the plans that left him dead. Dolly decides that she wants to try her own hand at the robbery so she gathers the other wives and together they plan to succeed where their husbands left off while also dealing with the police and other criminals who want the ledgers so they can take over and will stop at nothing to get them.
I like that this book focuses on a group of vastly different women who decide to turn to a life of crime. With these women being so different its very interesting to see how they interact and deal with working together. Most of the time it is very fast paced but there are some moments that drag on for a little bit and some of the conversations seem repetitive. The writing style was also not my favorite. A paragraph would be going one direction and then the next one the character was doing something completely different so it was a little jarring at times.
