A Dangerous Widow (A Dangerous Series) - Plot & Excerpts
To my surprise, she actually sounded sober when she answered. “Hello?” “Maxine?” “Who is this? Who’s calling?” “It’s Kate Stone.” “Kate!” she said. “My God—I never thought I’d see the day. How lovely to hear your voice. How are you, my dear? Well? Or still in mourning? Because everyone swears that even after all these years, you are still in mourning. I never know what to believe—though it is in my nature to tend to lean toward the worst…” “I’m fine, Maxine. Five years is a long time.” “So it is, and so good to hear that you’re back. You do realize that, for the longest time, there was talk that you might shroud yourself in black for the rest of your life. As if you were some sort of a Victorian widow. I mean, I’ve been inviting you to my parties for the past several years, and you’ve never once accepted. Can you blame me for not believing the gossip?” “I never believe in any sort of gossip, Maxine.” “Shrewd of you.”
