🕊️ ➞ Synopsis:

When the four partners of a prominent law firm are killed in a mysterious plane crash, their widows must come together to uncover the truth in this explosive, edge-of-your-seat novel.

It’s 1985 in Providence, Rhode Island, and the four partners of a prominent, mafia-affiliated law firm have been killed in a private jet that went down outside New York City. Four very different women have just lost the loves of their lives: Justine, a former fashion model adjusting to suburban life; Camille, a beautiful, young second wife some suspect is a gold digger; Krystle, committed to leaving the firm to her sons after her husband worked his whole life to support them all; and Meredith, a stripper at the local club who was in a secret relationship with the firm’s sole female partner. While the crash is initially ruled a tragic accident, something’s not adding up: The team wasn’t supposed to be in New York that day, and it’s soon revealed that there was a very large sum of cash that burned up with the plane. The women find themselves thrown together in search of the truth, with new danger and threats unfolding at every turn.

Could a dissatisfied client be seeking revenge? Or were the partners involved in something bigger—something dangerous and deadly? What other secrets were the partners keeping, and how far might people go to ensure they stay hidden? The widows must find the answers in order to protect their inheritance, their families, and their lives.

🕊️ ➞ My Thoughts:

Young, Rich Widows was dramatic, dripping in secrets, twists, and murder. Thrilling and engaging, this was absolutely worth the listen! Dirty lawyers, mafia bosses, missing money, and a stupid, stupid kid.

Told from the alternating perspectives of each widow, Amazon Audible did an amazing job at casting the narrators. Diverse in their ways, each widow made up a partitive part of this amazing, feminist sleuthing team. If you haven’t given it a listen, I need you to get it together and get on that! 🤣 If you ✨have ✨, leave a comment! I always love to hear your thoughts!
