Review: WIDOWS is a criminal novel which begins with the crime scene of a beautiful 22 year old blond girl found murdered in her expensive penthouse.She had been cut by a knife in several different parts of her body.A series of exotic letters had been found in her apartment with no names of the writer mantioned on it. The detectives manage to guess who had written those letters and Arthur Schumacher is found shot onthe road near his apartment building, witnessed by the doorman. It is found out that Arthur and Susan had been having an affair for about 10 months.In succession Arthur's second wife and ex-wife also get murdered by the same person with the same gun.Now it is for the detective-sergents to find out who is behind all these assainations. The other special part of the book is the fact that the author goes into the lives of the detective-sergents also. His focus is not only on the murder but also on the lives of the people involved. A very interesting book to read. Happy Reading!
