The Widow Black
The instructions for the job had been simple. Attend a will-reading. Observe the heirs. Report back their reactions. It had to be a female investigator, to blend in, the letter had said. And the expenses were all prepaid.
It would only take… a few hours.
Simple.
She and partner Jake Steiner had been warned about the vindictive fervor and irrational devotion of the followers of Honorable Honey Stern, the former Presidential candidate, whom Mallory had months ago exposed to the world as a serial pedophile. But time had passed. Nothing had occurred. Preparing for her wedding, Mallory’s security precautions against vengeance had waned.
Yet hate doesn’t die in those scorned. It simmers with an acid-like loathing.
And the Widow Black has guaranteed Mallory Dimante’s wedding day is one she will live or die to regret.
Wickedly menacing and mercilessly relentless, The Widow Black, C.J. Booth’s 3rd book in the Diamond & Stone Mystery Series rips along - a race against the certain end for Mallory, an unsolvable mystery for Jake to locate the woman he loves, but most of all…
… pitting Mallory Dimante against the most horrifying, evil woman she’s ever met.
Get it now.

Jumped the shark
I’ve read the books in this series and this one totally jumped the shark. It was unbelievable in SO many ways.I found myself thinking that it couldn’t get more ridiculous but it kept going.

Great read
This was the best of the series so far. Couldn’t put the book down. Can’t wait for the next adventure.
