One night in Rome. One car. One dead scientist. Italian police investigate, but in the end, all they have are kind words for the new widow. Months later, a video emerges challenging the facts. Had he stepped into traffic, or was he pushed? The widow returns to the police, but they have little interest and no answers. Exit the widow.
Enter Diamond. One name for a woman with one purpose. Resurrecting her CIA cover, she follows the shaky video down the rabbit hole. Her widow’s run unearths a plethora of suspects: the small-time crook, the mule-loving rancher, the lady in waiting, the Russian bookseller, the soon-to-be priest. Following the stink greed leaves in its wake reveals big lies and ugly truths.
Murder is filthy business. Good thing Diamond plays dirty.

Hott Review of Widow’s Run:
I listened to TG Wolff’s Mysteries to Die For podcast reading of Widow’s Run when she first released it a couple years ago and fell in love with her writing and her podcast. But, with the release of her new book Psycho Therapy I thought it was the to actually read it and immerse myself in all things Diamond.
Diamond is brash, rude, and abrasive. But you can see the devastation and pain she’s covering and thinks she can overcome by finding out who killed her husband and why. The myriad of misfits she picks up along the way at a testament to the heart that lies beneath the brusque facade.
I absolutely love the chapter headings they’re fun, snarky and so appropriate. Seeing how they fit was like clicking in an additional puzzle piece.
I’m happy to share that I enjoyed Widow’s Run even more the second time though… Though missed the accompaniment.
