Book Description

Publication Date: December 12, 2007

Black Widow By Laurie Breton Sex, lies and murder to conceal the shameful secrets of a picturesque little Southern town. The jury had no hesitation in convicting Kathryn McAllister of killing her husband she'd been found standing over his body, covered in blood and holding the murder weapon. But four years later new evidence supports her claims of innocence. With her conviction overturned, Kathryn returns to the hometown of her husband's wealthy, prominent family, determined to find the real killer. New police chief Nick DiSalvo has left the stress of big-city SWAT team work that destroyed his marriage, and just wants to deal with small-town small problems. But Kathryn's demand that he re-open the investigation into her husband's murder disrupts his new relaxed life when he has to protect her from harassment and attacks. The irresistible heat exploding between them traps him between passion and police work. The investigation leads them to uncover a thirty-year-old secret so terrible that someone will kill again to keep it hidden.

I don't know what's up with Miss Delaware, but I couldn't put this book down once I started it, which explains why I'm here at 2:30 in the morning writing a glowing review for Laurie Breton. "Black Widow" is suspense at its best--a chilling read that'll keep you glued to the book, turning page after page until you reach the end. I look forward to more work by this debut author!
