Desperate Deadly Widows is a wild, fun ride with four women who lost their partners in a plane crash about two years ago. I didn't notice that this ARC was a sequel until I started reading, so I quickly grabbed book one on Libby. And I think it's a testament to the writing collaboration of these four authors that I flew through book one and then straight into book two. Rarely do I do so with any series, and I had so much fun. 

So first, please go read Young Rich Widows to meet the incredible and incredibly different women who must come together after unexpected loss to face personal and professional challenges and dangers they had no idea were lurking at their doors. 

Then return, and read this one. I loved the character growth in this second book and equally enjoyed the rich Rhode Island 1980s setting. 

A very good time when you're in the mood for a popcorn kind of book with writing that is both easy and intelligent.
