When a human skull gatecrashes her friends’ big day, it officially becomes the worst wedding Ginny Cole has ever been to.

But as the assembled guests await the police, the two families staring daggers at each other across the aisle, Ginny starts to suspect that these nuptials were deliberately sabotaged. Together with her fellow widows in crime-solving, JM, Tuppence and Hen, she decides to uncover who wanted this marriage dead on arrival.

The police have no interest in a twenty-year-old skull, so Ginny and her friends have free reign to investigate. But untangling a web of family feuds and ancient village rivalries soon escalates into much more when a new body turns up…

The widows have stumbled into a devious plot decades in the making, but can they find their way to the truth before one of them joins the village body count…?

The Widows' Guide to Skulduggery

Sixty-year-old widow Ginny Cole thought she’d used up her life quota of bad luck. So she’s dismayed when her move to the quaint village of Little Shaw begins with finding the murdered body of rude and dislikeable library manager, Louisa Farnsworth. Has misfortune followed her cross-country?

When suspicion falls on the daughter of her friend Hen, because of a perfectly innocent threatening letter, Ginny’s sure the police are letting the real killer walk free, and together with fellow widows JM, Tuppence, she’s determined to find the truth.

Between following the trail of local gossip, digging up graveyards at midnight, and discovering dark secrets about the village’s past, sleuthing seems simple enough. But when another body is found, Ginny starts to wonder, are they in over their heads?

And when the widows’ snooping puts Ginny too close for the killer’s comfort, will her new life in Little Shaw end as dramatically as it began…?
