Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to receive this book for an honest review.

I loved this book. It reminded me of a who dunnit, Murder She Wrote type of book. It kept me hooked and cannot wait to read the next one.

I highly suggest this if you looking for a good fun mystery book.

I loved this! These crazy ladies get themselves so tangled up in this murder mystery that even when Detective Wallace warns them off, they still manage to solve it. Plenty of twists and turns, secrets revealed and suspects investigated. Thoroughly enjoyable and I'm looking forward to their next adventure!
Thanks to Netgalley, Storm Publishing, and Amanda Ashby for the free ARC. All opinions are my own.

Murder seems to have a knack for finding Ginny Cole, even amongst the quiet shelves of the Little Shaw library. In Amanda Ashby's The Widows' Guide to Backstabbing (The Widows' Detective Club #2), Ginny's new role as head librarian is interrupted by a deadly discovery at the local haberdashery. With a suspect list longer than a ball of yarn, Ginny and her fellow widows – Hen, JM, and Tuppence – must unravel a web of secrets to clear the name of the victim's daughter and her boyfriend.

Ashby once again delivers a charming and witty mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. I was particularly drawn to the deepening friendships between the widows and their connection to the residents of Little Shaw. The scenes where Edgar the cat was bringing stolen objects to Ginny were very entertaining. The mystery included red herrings and surprising twists to keep you guessing until the end.

Fans of cozy mysteries with strong female friendships, a touch of humor, and a charming village setting will devour this book. Knitters and crafters will especially appreciate the detailed descriptions of the haberdashery and the characters' passion for their crafts and hobbies. I'm already eager to see what mystery awaits the Widows' Detective Club in the next installment!

Thank you to Storm Publishing for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

What a great sequel
I much preferred it to the first in the series
The characters are so loveable and them integrating young Connor into the group brings a new dynamic
I am looking forward to book 3!

The Widow's Guide to Backstabbing by Amanda Ashby is an excellent follow up to the first book in the series, building on the characters and situations to firmly establish the series.
The mystery is complex, with plenty of suspects, and the situations in which the Detective Club members find themselves are alternately amusing and suspenseful.
Ashby has written an entertaining book with relatable characters, and I look forward to reading more.
Thank you for the ARC of #TheWidowsGuidetoBackstabbing to #NetGalley.

Such a cute book about older women being nosey. I love a good series and was excited to read this after reading the first book in the series. I loved the continuation of the characters picking up right where they left off. The Widows Guide to Backstabbing is such a fun mystery book!

A great sequel for this amazing cozy mystery.

Loved it, and will totally recommended it.

A must on your TBR

I was very happy when Storm Publishing set me an advanced copy of this book. I so enjoyed the first one that I couldn’t wait to read this one and I couldn’t put it down. I do enjoy a mystery and a little cozy mystery of a librarian and her fellow widows help the police solve mysteries. Even though, InspectorsWallace does not want them interfering in his inquiries.. The ladies always find a way getting involved.
Ginny Coles decided after their last murdered adventure that she would put all her time and energy into the library. Since the last book she had become the head librarian and decided it was time for her to put all her energy into that title. Well, that didn’t last long because as you see upon visiting the local haberdashery Ginny you guessed it stumbles upon a dead body of the owner Mr. Harlow, who also is the local celebrity of Little Shaw and who was the head judge of Little Shaws yearly fete. Who would want to kill a local shop keeper whom everyone loved. Or was he as the Widows were soon to find out. As they investigate they find out about the baking rivalry that is thirty years old, a love triangle and other strange happenings in their little village. Plus Ginny must figure out why her cat Edger keeps bringing her items that belong to other people.
I truly enjoy these characters. They are fun loving and have a truly wonderful friendship. Although they tend to get into hot water with the police they remind me of the Golden Girls meet Jessica Fletcher. Very enjoyable and my new favorite murder investigators. Hope to read about the widows next adventure. Thank you Storm and NetGalley for the ARC.

Enjoyed the first one so much that I dived straight into this one. Although it's the second in the series, it works as a standalone as Amanda catches you up quickly and effectively.

Again, wonderful characterisation, good misdirection, a strong plot and good dialogue. Very enjoyable read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this second book about Ginny and her friends. Once again, there is a murder to solve and despite their best intentions not to get involved, things just keep happening. With a wide range of suspects, there are plenty of leads to follow. The backstory about the competition between bakers at the local fete was fun. It was great that Connor is now working at the library, as he is a character that adds to the story. Above all, the friendship and gentle humour make this a delightful series to read. Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for a chance to read this book, and I hope there are more to come.

Ginny and her three friends are back investigating a murder. This time local celebrity and owner of a haberdashery has been killed. When Wallace arrests a local man of the crime, the four women believe he was set up. With the local fete coming, they’re trying hard to solve this one. Ginny and her friends are fun to watch and I love that they have taken Connor under their wing. Once again, I was surprised of the culprit. I look forward to the next one.
