A review by kerveros
Widows by Lynda La Plante
3.0
I'm pretty certain this is the first Lynda la Plante book I've read, though I've certainly heard of the author before. Based on this, I might pick up books by this author again, especially if there's a sequel to this.
Typically I'm not a fan of books that sequel-bate (there are some exceptions of course) but this does feel really self contained so it doesn't *need* a sequel, but I'd be happy enough if there was one.
Plot wise I did find this to be a tad convuluted with a few too many characters so at times I struggled to keep things straight. There is a plot twist or two here, but they work well and aren't just thrown in at the end.
Characters, I can see them being realistic but none are truly likable which is something I like in my books. Still I read this in a matter of hours so it entertained me and served its purpose.
