The Widower

Mary Malone’s amateur sleuthing days end when she eagerly agrees to join forces with her brother Matt, a private investigator, who’s recently returned to Minnesota from a job overseas, but soon finds herself struggling to take orders from someone else. Now that Mary’s stuck between a rock and a hard place, will she ever find a way out from under Matt’s thumb and prove what she’s truly capable of without causing a lasting rift between the two of them? Sometimes a simple call from a friend does the trick. On a rainy afternoon in October, Doris Pendleton, a close friend of Mary’s, leaves a message requesting Mary join her at a home in Afton, unlocking more than Mary could’ve anticipated, including the disappearance of the home’s owner, a widower. “The Widower is an exciting and intriguing book about friendship, family, greed, and tradition. Set in Minnesota, Matt and Mary take on a case that shifts and changes like the Midwest weather.” Patti M. “I couldn’t put The Widower down. I liked the relationship between the brother and sister. There is a bit of sibling rivalry going on, but Matt and Mary are deeply devoted to each other. The author’s writing is so descriptive, each little detail helps the reader feel as if they're right there seeing each person and place.” Margie O.
