Synopsis

A riveting new tale of betrayal, blackmail, and murder from the bestselling author of The Burning Man and Gone, but Not Forgotten.Phillip Margolin's masterful new legal thriller is full of suspense at its finest, with surprising twists and turns, erotic undertones that can quickly turn deadly, and, most of all, a keen sense of the inner workings of the American justice system.At the center of The Undertaker's Widow is the beleaguered figure of Richard Quinn—a judge so ethical that he is willing to risk his own life to see that justice prevails in his courtroom. But as Quinn discovers when he presides over the trial of tough-talking state senator Ellen Crease, there is not always a clear path to justice.A former police officer, Crease is a flamboyant public figure who stands accused of conspiring to murder her husband, a wealthy tycoon who got his start in the funeral parlor business. Things, however, are not as they seem, and Quinn soon begins to suspect that Crease may well have been set up. As he zeros in on the deadly secret at the heart of this trial, Judge Richard Quinn finds that his efforts to do the right thing lead him ever deeper into an insidious maze of murder and deceit.With all the narrative pulse and legal sophistication that have made Phillip Margolin a household name, The Undertaker's Widow is a complex and wild ride that will leave readers breathless.

Not His Best This isn't one of Phillip Margolin's best books. It's pretty predictable. Not many of the characters were nice people. I'm not a big fan of a character reading something and acting on it but not letting the reader know what it's about.......more

Goodreads review by Paula on April 07, 2018

Judge Quinn is a very ethical judge and takes his job seriously. When making a ruling he doesn't do what everyone expects, he follows the law. Now he is being blackmailed and his life depends on his ruling. Who can he trust? This is my second Margolin book and he does not disappoint. I wanted to spen......more

Goodreads review by Gary on October 10, 2014

I'm not usually a murder mystery reader, so don't have a lot of knowledge to compare this novel to others in this genre. It does a nice job of keeping you guessing to the very end, which of three different options would finally pan out as the real killer. This book may be called The Undertaker's Wido......more
