I enjoyed this book and the mystery behind who was responsible for Toni's murder and why. Throughout the story you have an idea of who is involved but there are a couple of twists that I didn't anticipate until near the very end of the story. I really liked Bertha and her grandma, and I hope there are additional stories with them in it. I seriously wanted to slap Toni's police partner from the moment we are introduced to him.

Overall the story was entertaining, although there were a couple of typos that threw me off because initially I couldn't tell if they were typos or dialect. Typos. Fortunately, not enough to get really annoying.

Judge Bertha Brannon loses her partner (Toni) on a domestic abuse call gone wrong. But things just done set right with Bertha. People (the right people) are answering her questions honestly. People she talks with during her investigation of Toni's death are starting to die or disappear. Threats are made again her daughter, Doree, and she decides to find the right people to help her take a stand against the injustice done to her partner.

I haven't read one of Martha Miller's books in a long time. It was refreshing and I'm glad she's back.

Format: Paperback
Bertha Brannon is not your typical lesbian heroine--a lithe, blonde 25. She's middle aged, tall, African American, and carrying some extra pounds. Bertha is also a judge and long term sober. As the bodies start to fall, she turns to her friends--retired cops for help--all of whom are in their 70s and 80s. These wily guys help guide and protect Bertha as she struggles to unmask the perpetrators of the conspiracy around her.

Readers first met Bertha in "Nine Nights on the Windy Tree" where she uncovered substantial family secrets. In the follow-up, Bertha has been leveled by the death of her partner of nearly two decades, which she is certain was not just a domestic violence call gone wrong, but cold-blooded murder.

Bertha has to contend with her partner's moody and preoccupied teenage daughter, an antisocial cat, and her horny Grandma--who while residing in a nursing home, proves time and again that old don't mean dead.

It's an enjoyable read that advances quickly, like visiting old friends. I'm sure many will be curious to know how Bertha has fared since the last book. Also it's a breath of fresh air to spend time with characters who are underrepresented in most mainstream fiction.

Widow is Miller's second novel featuring Bertha Brannon. As the novel opens, Bertha has hurried to the ER after hearing that her partner, Toni, a police officer, has been shot. Toni's police partner, Fred, was also shot when they were called out on a domestic violence case. Unfortunately, Toni does not make it through surgery. Bertha is left alone with Doree, Toni's teenage daughter.
Bertha is a judge, and as she and Doree try to cope with their awful loss, Bertha is also feeling that something smells rotten!
Award winning author Martha Miller has given readers a great suspense novel of almost 300 pages, and some wonderful characters. Bertha's grandmother is funny, enjoys a good roll in the hay, and lives in a nursing home. Bertha's posse, who help her search for the truth of Toni's death, are three delightful retired cops. And Doree suffers from the usual teenage angst. Miller has some surprises in store as Bertha follows the twisted path to the truth. Widow is not to be missed!
