I've started on the sequel to The Widow's Revenge - here is part of the first chapter:

The young man in the pinstripe suit strode confidently up to the desk, polished shoes clicking on the tiled floor.  The girl on reception looked up expectantly.

‘Can I help you?’

The man coughed, putting up a hand to his mouth as he did so.  As he took it away, the receptionist’s eyes widened.  His moustache was hanging loose from his upper lip.  He tried to push it back on, gave up and ripped it off.

‘Design fault,’ he giggled.

‘Dawn?  What are you doing dressed as a man?’

‘It’s my surveillance outfit, Julie.  What do you think?’

Julie was spluttering with laughter.  ‘I think you need better glue for your moustache.  And your wig’s slipping.’

‘It’s not, is it?  Shi…ugar.‘   Dawn pulled off the black wig and ran her hands through the flattened red frizz until it regained its normal bush like appearance.

‘You’re going to need to work on the voice, too.  Anyway, what’s with this surveillance?’

Great Review

Review of The Widow's Revenge
 by Pam Richter, author of The Necromancer

A Gem -
I call this book a little gem because reading it made me happy. The writing was wonderful, the characters interesting, and the plotting intricate.
The main character Serena was smart, beautiful, and most importantly, a kind person. You wanted everything to go well for her, but the problems she experiences, personal, financial, and in business would be enough to wipe out most people. She manages to hold on and in the process creates something wonderful in both her business and personal life.
I really enjoyed the vengeful widow. She was so horribly demented and mean, creating chaos and stunting the growth of a wonderful son. Her maliciousness was scary, she enjoyed creating agony, and her tantrums were monumental. She seemed to have no understanding of the consequences of her actions. A great character.
I was so caught up in the novel that I was thinking and worrying about what would happen next when I had to put my Kindle down for unfortunate reading interruptions. Highly recommended.
