The Self-Made Widow by Fabian Nicieza

4.0

I came into this mystery series completely blind and SOOO enjoyed it!! Who wouldn't love to root for a former FBI profiler turned stay at home suburban mother of FIVE who smells something fishy when the husband of one of her neighbors turns up dead, supposedly due to his pre-existing heart condition. Not willing to leave things alone, Andy teams up with her fellow crime-solving partner from the first book, Kenny Lee (much to her husband's chagrin). This was a great look at the challenges and struggles of suburban life, marriage and motherhood with a compelling mystery thrown in. Add in smart characters, snappy dialogue and great narration by Emily Woo Zeller and I was completely sold! Excuse me while I go binge the first book in the series. Recommended for fans of Cherie Priest or the show Dead to me.
