Hello! I saw some were posting #friyayintro and I thought it would be fun to participate...

1. So hard but I love pie
2. Yes, always. But no frosting
3. A few. I get no sympathy from cops. My first was when I was 16 and I was so scared about telling my dad I was crying before the cop made it to my car and could barely talk. He was not happy and seemed super annoyed at me.
4. Yes/yes/yes it depends on what I feel like and who is with me

I loved loved loved this book. I downloaded it through kindle unlimited but listened to it through audible. I like a story where the female lead cop is intelligent, tough, take nothing from no one and Angie Pallorino is just that woman. She is also behind the scenes a hot mess because let‘s face it, to work sex crimes, to deal with that ugliness, has to mess with your head a little bit. This story has it all, mystery/suspense/romance. It is book 1

12/125 The Good Widow was pretty straightforward until the end. Peeling back the layers and telling the story from present to past, switching seamlessly. I never felt lost or like I didn‘t understand whose perspective the story was coming from. I had forgotten that this was supposed to be a thriller. I wanted to know the story and the why behind the what but it wasn‘t until the end where the story gets dark. Dark in a good way, a believable way.

I just finished listening to this book this past weekend. I have seen everyone in Instagram saying it‘s a cute read.... and that‘s the exact word I would use, cute. Not in a bad way at all. It‘s the unromantic romantic fairy tale. It‘s a quick listen so I would imagine quick read that was the perfect palate cleanser in between all my murdery books!

I picked this on kindle unlimited on a whim... I needed a new audiobook at work. I love books where each chapter switches from a different characters perspective. This book not only did that but it switched from past to present seamlessly. The story developed in a way that kept me interested and wanting to know the end so badly but when I got there I kept pausing because I wanted to savor it.

Is it me or does reading an actual book versus an Ebook on your kindle take longer? I swear I killed it in January and I'm still reading the same book I started in February! Any other James Patterson junkies out there? I am really liking the sarcasm of detective Harry Blue in this series..
