The Widow Kiss

About The Widow Kiss

Three dead husbands. Three mysterious deaths. One very wealthy widow. Beatrice Finch has terrible luck with husbands: they keep ending up dead. The latest is Alistair Finch, found dead in his study. No struggle, no poison, just instant rigor mortis and a face frozen in shock. Beatrice has now buried three husbands, inheriting fortunes each time. With Maddie Crow on the case and botanical witch Lily Teake uncovering magical twists at every turn, they must determine whether it's atrociously bad karma or good planning. But the deeper they dig, the more complicated the family dynamics become. There's the resentful stepchild, the desperate nephew, and enough old grudges to fuel a dozen revenge plots. The investigation leads through elegant estates, family secrets, and a glittering masquerade ball where everyone wears masks—literally and figuratively. As the magical evidence mounts even higher than Detective Ross Hamilton's scepticism, Maddie must untangle the threads of what might be the deadliest curse and the perfect crime. Because when "till death do us part" happens suspiciously often, it's time to call a curse breaker. Welcome back to Stratford-upon-Avon, where marriage can be murder and nothing is quite what it seems.

Perfect for fans of cozy paranormal mysteries with British charm and just enough romance to warm the heart with supernatural intrigue, a determined curse-breaker and a sceptical detective who's beginning to question everything he thought he knew about the world
