Krystle, Meredith, Justine, and Camille are thrown together when their law-firm owning husbands, and in the case of Meredith, her girlfriend, are killed in a plane crash. The wives already knew and hated one another; the lone female partner in the firm was in the closet (it\u2019s 1985), but is now firmly out, and Meredith joins in the animosity and puzzlement that\u2019s freely flowing. Why were the partners on a plane back to Providence, Rhode Island from New York City, when they were supposed to be working in Providence that day? The reasons slowly become clear as the women are targeted by the town\u2019s mafia for money that the deceased owed. Just when that danger wraps up, a twist hits the widows and readers as another\u2026and another\u2026perilous situation bears down on them. This book began life as an Audible original and its backbiting humor mixed with love and loathing makes it easy to see why it was such a hit and was brought to print. The authors\u2019 note (there\u2019s also a reading-group guide) explains that \u201890s humor-laden novels such as Married to the Mob<\/em> and The First Wives Club<\/em> provided inspiration; grab Young Rich Widows<\/em> for some nostalgia, but it\u2019s also just a fun romp for any thriller lover.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
