The Virgin Widow (Urban Soul Presents) Reviews
-
Twenty six year old virgin and blushing bride, Izzy Trotter is taken on a jolting roller coaster ride of emotions and scandal after her husband Carl Trace is murdered the night of their wedding. . . by his mistress! Up until his death Carl was the proprietor of the only African American owned hotel in Atlanta, the Shelby. Now it is in Izzy's hands but she has difficulty handling it while shocking revelations about her late husband are brought to the forefront. It appears as if the killer emerges from the launch of this novel but we can't be so sure. There seems to be a new twist revealed in every chapter which is unlike any piece of fiction I have ever read so it certainly held my attention. This twenty first century murder mystery is fast paced and unexpectedly exciting! The debt Carl leaves Izzy with is astounding so she makes a deal with his wealthy mistress behind bars, who claims to be innocent. If she forks over the money then Izzy's sister, high profile lawyer Satchel will defend her. Also, Izzy being a virgin widow strikes the city as enormous news and is plastered all over the newspapers along with Carl's death. Not only do we get to follow her unearthing unorthodox ways to pay off her major newfound debt, but in addition we get to throughly observe her in her interestingly pristine quest to finally lose her virginity. This novel definitely surprised me. It was sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust for months when I finally forced myself to read it. As soon as I started I couldn't put it down! I am kicking myself for not reading it sooner and am now planning to buy every other work by this author.
