Strong, sexy, smart, and stealthy The ladies at the Black Widow Agency aim to bring justice to wronged women like themselves, using a lethal blend of computer forensics, surveillance technology, and... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The women who run the Black Widow Agency harbor grudges against the men that wronged them and now make it their mission to help others from getting the short end of the stick. The leader is Katie, an ex-police officer who still has feelings for the man who betrayed her. Alexandria is a computer expert with an exotic pet--a tarantula. I enjoyed that the writer, Felicia Donovan, developed diverse characters with varying ages. Great start to what promises to be a wonderful series.
4 diverse women help others with their detective agency
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Four very diverse women who have been wronged, have come together to create a detective agency: a financial whiz, a computer genius with a pet black widow, an ex-cop, and a manager/cook. Their specialty is to help other women who haven't been able to get results using the usual means. They often use very creative ways to help these women. Sometimes I found that hard to read. But overall, I loved the book. The four women work great together and are each complex in their own way. I can't wait to read further books to learn more about each of their pasts. I'm not a spider fan, so some of the discussion of the black widow bothered me, but overall it just added to the story. I really enjoyed the use of modern technology to solve their cases. Hope there will be lots more of that in future books. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading Spun Tales.
Great Start to a New Series!

I loved the premise behind this book - that four wronged women band together to create a detective agency geared towards righting wrongs. Each of the four main characters is well drawn and distinct in voice and bring to the agency and the series very specific talents. I found the character of Katie Mahoney to be particularly complex and the use and description of modern technology fascinating. While this book has its flaws, overall it was a very charming and entertaining read. I look forward to the sequel.
Fun! Entertaining and fast paced!

A great mystery! Four women who all work together at the Black Widow Agency and combine their individual strengths and talents to help others who haven't gotten anywhere through usual means or channels. I could really relate to this seeing many situations where this occurs. What a premise! Love it. Each woman in the agency has their talents; A financial whiz, a computer genius, an ex-cop and a good manager/cook. A client comes to them who has lost everything and had her life ruined by the machinations of unethical relatives. So the ladies of the Black Widow agency get to work! And having a team with all those skills look out! Soon a plan comes together. Anyway, don't want to ruin the story but Let's just say that its wonderful to see the bad guy get what they deserve finally! A light mystery with some humor and a touch of romance. This book had it all. Delightful! LM
