My husband read this. Said he enjoyed it as he enjoys Christopher brookmyres books. He said it was very twisty and had a great ending. He loves this series.

There was much to enjoy here, but I found I couldn't connect with it. I'd read more from this author in the future though, as I've enjoyed many of his books in the past.

Finally sorting through those dark corners of my kindle for those books that have been long forgotten about.
I went to read this one and realised it was book 2.
Off I trotted to good oldAmazon to buy the first book.
Super surprise when discovered book 1,2,3. Were available on kindle unlimited. So disputed me having had this one forever I read the box set ones and feel at least that way the author gets some benefit.
Brilliant read. Enjoyed the getting to know characters and great story line that I found easy to follow as well as interesting.

Black Widow By Chris Brookmyre is a general fiction (adult) read.
Diana Jager is clever, strong and successful, a skilled surgeon and fierce campaigner via her blog about sexism. Yet it takes only hours for her life to crumble when her personal details are released on the internet as revenge for her writing.
Then she meets Peter. He's kind, generous, and knows nothing about her past: the second chance she's been waiting for.
Within six months, they are married. Within six more, Peter is dead in a road accident, a nightmare end to their fairytale romance.
But Peter's sister Lucy doesn't believe in fairytales, and tasks maverick reporter Jack Parlabane with discovering the dark truth behind the woman the media is calling Black Widow...
OMG. This was a gripping and captivating read. Full of twists and plots. Wasn't sure about Diana. I had to keep reading til the last page. Highly recommended. 5*. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book from netgalley.
