Book Review: Death of a Ghostwriter by Gaynor Torrance

They say sharing is caring, but sharing a husband? That’s a grave mistake.

And Hell hath no fury like three widows with a murder to solve . . .

Synopsis:

Albert Franklynn’s sudden and mysterious death leaves everyone in the pretty village of Monksworthy in shock — especially his wife Sylvie, who runs the local tearoom.

But the real surprise comes at the mortuary, where not one, but three grieving widows show up to identify his body.

It turns out that Albert wasn’t just a devoted husband to Sylvie . . . He had two other wives as well.

As everyone reels from the revelation of Albert’s double — or triple — life, three widows reluctantly team up to investigate a mystery more tangled than the village’s gaudy bunting: who killed Albert — and why.

It turns out Albert’s list of enemies is longer than the village bake sale sign-up sheet. Can these three unlikely sleuths resolve their differences to become partners in crime-solving . . . before the killer writes them out of the story for good?

Review:

Imagine waiting on your husband to come home, only to have the police arrive to tell you that they were at the scene of his car accident and he is deceased, then you show up to the morgue and find out that not only is there another wife, younger than you, but also another much younger wife who seems to have disappeared, and who may be the suspect in your husband's death. Would you be able to put aside the hurt and pain and work with the second 'wife', to find out what happened to your errant husband? Sylvie does just that, and as the two actually become friends, they find out that their husband lied to all of them about a great many things and they need to find his new wife asap. A fun cozy, I can see this turning into a fun TV series!
