Black Widows: A Domestic Thriller

Black Widows is an intriguing story about three women who are married to the same man, Blake Nelson. Living in an off-the-grid ranch house, Rachel, Tina, and Emily are sister wives. Blake has gone against his family and the laws of the Mormon elders and decided to be a polygamist. Then one day, he turns up dead. What seems like a rather simple mystery to solve, given that only his three wives and the realtor who sold Blake the house know where the house is, turns out to be twisty and complicated.

Black Widows is narrated by all three wives and it is hard to tell who is lying and who is telling the truth. Rachel is the first wife, and she has a very strict regiment for the household. Tina is a rather loose Vegas girl trying to reform herself. And Emily is the sweet, creative, naive, young one.

This book will have you wondering all the way through as to who killed Blake. With police clues thrown in here and there, it is still difficult for the reader to solve the mystery. It is an engaging read for fans of suspenseful mystery/crime thrillers.
