This review is from: The Fourth Widow (A Carl Wilcox Mystery) (Hardcover)

"The Fourth Widow" is the fifth installment of the Carl Wilcox series. In this mystery, Carl and a substitue cop named Orrie Buford(Joey had his appendix removed in this story) try to figure out who killed a waitress, while trying to clear Carl's name. As the mystery deepens and it is clear someone has it in for Carl, more people die and the motive becomes more clear. Carl finds that the son of one of his former lovers figures into this, and there is quite a climax as justice is brought to the killers.
