Desperate Deadly Widows

A Novel

De: Kimberly Belle, Layne Fargo, Cate Holahan, Vanessa Lillie

Narrado por: Dina Pearlman, Karissa Vacker, Helen Laser, Ariel Blake

The widows are back! Big hair and bigger lies collide in the highly anticipated follow-up to Audible’s best-selling Young Rich Widows, where nothing’s more dangerous than a widow with nothing left to lose.

Set in neon-drenched Providence, Rhode Island, circa 1987, just two years after a plane carrying four mafia-affiliated law-firm partners exploded over the Atlantic along with the cushy lives of their once wealthy wives. Now, Krystle fights to keep their fallen law firm afloat. Justine hustles as a lawyer-in-training. Meredith owns and operates the strip club where she once danced. And Camille orchestrates honey-pot schemes for scorned women–until one of her arrangements goes terribly wrong, and she becomes implicated in the debauched Mayor Tom’s mysterious murder in the champagne room. With everything on the line, the widows must join forces once more. But as the conspiracy unravels beyond the mayor's demise, their search for justice pits first wife against second wife and widow against widow. With the widows’ fragile bond now tested, will the women cement their friendships, or is loyalty a luxury they just can’t afford?

In this thrilling expansion of the Widows universe, brimming with sloshed champagne, smeared lipstick, and lethal secrets, Desperate Deadly Widows unfolds as an edge-of-your-seat thriller where desperation wears stilettos, trust is a poker chip, and redemption comes at the cost of everything you thought you knew.

2nd times a charm

I absolutely love these widows, and hope a 3rd book comes out. It’s light and fun and makes me want the 80’s back.

I loved how the Widows stuck together

I really enjoyed this story, at the beginning it was a bit overwhelming with all the different characters but I eventually got the hang of it. I'm about to play ketch up with the first book.... I had no idea there were a book prior to this one, can't wait to listen to it 🥂

Love the 2nd book too!

I love these widows! I really love Krystal funny and blunt! the narrator is spot on!! the book was great. thanks for another adventure of the widows!!

Exciting

I haven't been this thrilled to read a good sisterhood who-done-it in a long time. The tears, the hopes and dreams all while second guessing every choice you've made to ensure that you are raising responsible kids with a good moral compass.

The narrators were awesome!!

Loved the story! The narrators were awesome! I loved the storytelling and suspense of what would happen next! Some great chuckle moments and some teary moments! Loved the whole book! Also had listened to the first one! The cast of characters are great!

Good comeback

The story is good, nice to hear back from the widows, the plot is great

They've done it again!

Here's what I will say: I predicted it WAY TOO SOON. But that's because I'm me and murder mysteries are my thing. But even still! The plot twists twisted and the storyline was great! I enjoyed myself the whole time and kept this book plugged into my ears nonstop. Way to go ladies! You've done it again! 15/10.

Characters

Just love the characters and the love and friendship they have for one another no matter what happens they are family

Fun!

I really enjoyed this story both for its well constructed plot and also as a vehicle for examples of healthy, supportive relationships. The performances were skilled. The listening experience light hearted and fun. Thank-you!

Sorellanza!!!🔥

Overall, the book was fun. But I did not find this particular second version as funny as the first. The first book I laughed so hard I actually had to back the book up several times in order to listen because I was laughing out loud!!! This particular book there were not as many parts.

I don’t know why the authors "dumbed down" the characters. There were several instances that they seemed rather discombobulated.

My favorite character was Krystal. She is the funniest!!!
My least favorite character was Justine, the one with the kid. She's not bad, just boring and couldn't stand up to her Mother in law - UHH!

My favorite part of the book was when they attended the party. Lots of exciting parts.! WOOHOO!
My least favorite part of the book is when Justine slips off the dock - seemed a little contrived. (and made her look stupid)
The narrators did a STELLAR job!!! BRAVA!!!! Overall I think you will enjoy the book. NAMASTE!
Looking forward to the next!!!! I love these authors. Kudos to all....Great job!
Congratulazioni 🌹
