She kissed her daughter, turned out the light and entered her own room. Too late to run, she stood frozen as a figure stepped out from behind the door and a hand covered her mouth. Fear was a bomb in her chest ready to explode. Her children. They'd already lost their daddy; they couldn't lose her too.

When young widow Eilis Lawlor disappears in the middle of the night, with her two little children asleep in their beds, it is a chilling case for Detective Lottie Parker. Since her husband's tragic death, Eilis is all her children have, and when Lottie sees Eilis's house keys and phone still lying on the kitchen counter, she is terrified for the vulnerable mother's safety.

Then Eilis's broken body is found by a nearby lake, wrapped in an unfamiliar yellow dress, her mouth sealed with duct tape - and Lottie's worst fears are confirmed. Someone wanted this beautiful widow dead.

Desperate to find the person behind this brutal crime, Lottie discovers that Eilis was a member of a support group for widows. And when Jennifer, a close friend of Eilis's from the group, is found on a rubbish heap, wrapped in a yellow dress, Lottie vows to get justice.

Lottie dives into Jennifer's past, and learns that she had lived a reclusive life since her husband died. She hadn't been seen at work for months and had sheltered inside her immaculate home, only emerging for meetings with the group. But when Lottie questions the other women about Jennifer's isolation, they claim to know nothing.

Lottie is certain that the remaining widows are hiding something. Can she uncover the truth before another innocent life is lost?

An absolutely gripping and totally addictive thriller that will keep you racing through the pages all night long. Fans of Robert Dugoni, Rachel Caine and Karin Slaughter will devour Three Widows in one sitting!
