The Widow (Silver Linings Mysteries Book #1) by Mary Kingswood


The widow is a traditional regency romance with a mystery woven throughout.  I loved it!
  
Nell Caldicott once was a happy young woman who ran away from her family to marry her one true love.  They were happy the first few years of their marriage until one day, her husband’s fortunes turned with the sinking of his ship.  Violent and angry, Jude took his anger out on his bride.  Reduced to living in fear of her husband on meager wages, Nell tries to find ways to survive.  After his untimely death, Nell discovers that her husband was hiding many secrets.  What was Jude trying to run away from? 

Nathan Harbottle meets Nell as she waits for Jude as he searches for his long-lost cousin.  Nathan finds himself instantly attracted to the beautiful married lady, but he moves on to continue the search.  When he finds himself thrown in her path again, he can’t help but to aid her and admire her. 

I love regency stories, especially clean stories.  I love the time period.  This novel had great well-developed characters and I enjoyed the mystery that was woven throughout the story.  This is a first in a series and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!

Favorite Quotes:
“We can all play the game of ‘if only,’ but it is a game with no winners, only losers.”

Overall, The Widow is a perfect Regency mystery romance. 

Book Source:  I purchased the e-book on Amazon.
