Thank you to BookishFirst for this ARC. The book published October 2019.
This is the 3rd (and final) book in the author’s “Widows” series. I did not realize that when I read the book but the author does a good job of recapping highlights from the previous books. I had previously read the author’s book “Buried” which had a prologue of Dolly Rawlins getting out of jail and going to this old house to meet up with some ladies who were also in prison who all wanted to be her friends. “She’s Out” picks up on the rest of that story.
Dolly was in jail for murdering her husband. She is released and goes to the “manor” house to meet up with other ladies. All Dolly wants is to find the diamonds she stashed before she went into jail. She quickly discovers these ladies aren’t her friends and are looking for a cut of the diamonds. DI Mike Withey is also looking for Dolly as he blames her for his sister’s murder 10 years earlier.
She quickly changes gears and resorts to Plan B and sets those plans in motion. At the same time, she decides to restore the manor house and use it as a home for young girls who need a stable home.
I didn’t quite understand why she stayed there at the house with these people who really weren’t her friends. The book ends with a bang….maybe a 4th book? ( )

So, I didn’t realize this was the third book but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I would like to read the other two. It’s a great female crime story! I love all the females outwitting the cops! ( )

This book wasn't my favorite book of the year, but it goes without saying that I did enjoy reading it and it was a really quick read. This book is part of the Widows series and is the final book of the saga.

Dolly Rawlins has been in prison and after her due time, is finally being released. She hopes to recover the stolen diamonds she stashed before she served her time but as soon as she leaves the jail cell, she has a slew of people chomping at her heels in order to either get their own cut or help get her back inside the prison for past occurrences. Dolly is forced to make some choices both bad and good.

I liked the writing of this story and how dramatic it feels at times. It makes it a rather quick read that is packed with details. This book did lag at times, but what I liked the most is the strong females strewn throughout. ( )

I received this book in a Bookish first giveaway. I did not enjoy this book as much as other books I have read from this author. The story had a lot of characters and I found it difficult to keep up with all of them. The ending was a bit of a disappointment. This was the third book in a trilogy and I did not read the other two. I don't think I will go back and read them but I will read this author again because I have enjoyed other books she has written.
