It seems only fitting that Sherlock is hot on the trail of insurance malfeasance in the middle of a miserable Chicago winter. It is all quite an undertaking dealing with a grief-stricken widow living in Catatonia, Russian mobsters, Silly Putty smugglers, and a dead suspect, who shows up dead for a second time frozen solid in a 7-11 dumpster. Toss in Tiffany meeting her match in a fight for affection, snow days, sniffling daughters, and an afternoon being whisked in a communal bathhouse, and you have the fifth Richard Sherlock Whodunit, The Case of the Woebegon Widow.

- Book 5 of 10: A Richard Sherlock Whodunit
Mystery, Mobsters and a Two-time Dead Suspect
BRRRR! This case is colder than a frozen carp. In the dead of a Chicago winter, bundled up Richard Sherlock is hot on the trail of insurance malfeasance by a semi-catatonic, grief-stricken, widow named Vilma.
If this isn’t chillingly depressive enough, Sherlock’s wandering leads to the Russian Mafia, Silly Putty smugglers and a dead, ashed-out body, who pops up for a second time, frozen solid in a 7-11 trash dumpster. This is about as far away from cremation as you can get.
Plus, Sherlock has to deal with lousy radiators, sniffling daughters home on snow days, and Tiffany meeting her match in a fight for her Daddy’s affection.
But being almost whisked to death in a Russian bathhouse, that’s enough to send shivers up anyone’s spine.
Richard Sherlock may be a reluctant dick, but he is better at finding the WHO in WHODUNIT than anyone else.
The Case of the Woebegone Widow is Book 5 in the Richard Sherlock Whodunit series. Start reading this fast-paced, twisty, laugh-out-loud mystery today.
