About this listen
The ground-breaking thriller from the queen of crime drama and the basis for Steve McQueen's major motion picture. Widows is a fast-paced heist thriller with an all-female cast you won't forget.
Facing life alone, they turned to crime together....
A security van heist goes disastrously wrong, and three women are left widowed.
When Dolly Rawlins discovers her gang boss husband's plans for the failed hijack, an idea starts to form....
Could she and the other wives finish the job their husbands started?
As the women rehearse the raid, it becomes clear that someone else must have been involved.
But only three bodies were found in the wreckage.
Who was the fourth man?
And where is he now?

Excellent book
Thee were times when I thought this nearly comedic. I enjoyed it, especially the narration which brought the characters to life. I was on the edge of my seat until the very end.
At the end of the recording was the first part of the next book - which wasn't a good idea, as the narator had changed, and the new book and characters sounded so different, I didn't think I'd want to listen.

Gripping
An exciting and gripping story of tough men and even tougher, stronger women.
Kept me enthralled right from the start. Not the kind of company I would want to keep but a thrilling story.

Widows' Pique
My first by this author, and probably my last. Overly and unnecessarily dramatic with the pathetic brainless tedious continual cross-questioning by the non compatible female "gang" throughout the whole book which made me realize why I usually give books with too many female MCs a definite miss, (unless it's Georgette Heyer).
A good enough tale when you finally make it to the end, but you feel like you've been roughed up like Reznik. IT WAS OK

Unlikely premise
This book was quite entertaining, well performed and a good light hearted listen, but the premise felt a little unlikely, dont think i will be investing into the sequel

No wonder it’s now a film
Another master class of story telling by Lynda La Plante. Very easy listening and will want to move on to book 2 to find out what the widows get up to next.

Good plot twists
Good book to listen to while gardening well read with accents etc. Easy to get into though not gripping like a page turner.
