Three Widows and a Corpse


Food blogger Hope Early finds one item not on her scavenger hunt list--a dead husband . . .

Between developing her food blog, Hope at Home, and choosing low-cal recipes for a feature in Cooking Now! magazine, Hope has a full plate. Still, she's never too busy to compete in a Jefferson, Connecticut, tradition--the town's annual scavenger hunt.

But as she races with her team to check off the next item, Hope discovers a grisly surprise--the body of shady real estate developer Lionel Whitcomb, shot in a parking lot. His wife Elaine, who's also in the hunt, gasps and nearly faints. But two other women on the scene cry out that their husband is dead.

It turns out this louse of a spouse was more than a little lax in legally divorcing his former wives. Did one of them put a bullet in the bigamist? Number one suspect and number three wife Elaine begs Hope to investigate. Now Hope is on a new kind of hunt--for a cold-hearted killer and triple widow-maker . . .

Includes Recipes from Hope's Kitchen!

My Rating: 4 Stars
This was easily the best of the series so far. I have enjoyed the previous books in the set but this one was a step above those. The mystery was very good and kept me entertained throughout the read. The culprit was a bit of a surprise and the end was cute. Looking forward to the next installment!

I received this book from NetGalley and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
