The Self-Made Widow by Fabian Nicieza
5.0
When the death of Molly's husband is ruled a heart attack, everyone thinks his heart defect finally caught up with him, but Kenny Lee gets an anonymous call from a woman saying that Molly killed her husband. Kenny Lee's reporter instincts kick in, so he contacts Andrea Stern and discovers that she also suspects her friend of murder. Andie along with Kenny and his team embark on an investigation that reveals multiple secrets being kept by all of Andie's friends that she has dubbed the Cellulitists - cellulite + elitists and eventually leads a little too close to home.
The Self-Made Widow is another winner in the Suburban Dicks series. Once again, I don't understand why more people aren't talking about another of Fabian Nicieza's books. This twisty procedural is full of secrets and clues that once again attacks the mystery from two different perspectives. As well as a crackerjack plot, everything about suburban life is put under the microscope, adding layers to this humorous and emotional story. Both Andie and Kenny question their own life choices and what their futures might hold, making readers ponder their own choices. Overall, The Self-Made Widow is another exceptional mystery that examines the pros and cons of suburban life. 4 1/2 stars
