While perusing the new book section of our local library, I came across a new (to me) author/book series by Felicia Donovan The Black Widow Agency (Black Widow Agency Mysteries).

In a way, it reminds me of The First Wives Club, but it has the added twist of being a mystery series.

The main characters who make up the agency are all interesting and diverse. Each of them has a back story, but we don’t get the full story on at least one of them. The author is a recognized expert in the field of law enforcement techniques including the recovery of computer files, enhancement of photos, assisting the FBI, and providing technical advice about cyber crimes. She makes use of her background and knowledge in the book. I’m not always sure if it is currently possible or soon-to-be possible. Nevertheless, I found it entertaining and informational.

Have you read it?

Her new book Spun Tales is coming out shortly and I look forward to it also.
