A review by mferrante83
The Self-Made Widow by Fabian Nicieza
5.0
My review comes with the caveat that this book is set in and around the town I grew up in. The characters go to the same school I did, they play soccer at the same parks I played rec. soccer in, they eat food from the same restaurants I did, they shop at the same stores I shopped in, and I had my first cello recital in the very church that Derek Goode's memorial service is held.
All of that wouldn't matter of course if this wasn't an entertaining read. It is. If you enjoyed the first novel you will be ready to jump right in here. Andie and Kenny are wonderfully complex characters conjuring up pathos, frustration, and glee in equal parts. We get more snippets of each character's past. Given that I want to know more about the Browning case, Andie's brother, Kenny's past, and more on what the future holds for Andie and her brood I hope Mr. Nicieza gets to continue this series.
