APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Before the 2018 Steve McQueen and Gillian Flynn movie, Widows was a classic British TV miniseries based on this 1983 novel by Lynda La Plante, who went on to create the outstanding Prime Suspect franchise about policewoman Jane Tennison. La Plante is a gifted thriller author: As her newly widowed characters, Dolly, Linda, and Shirley, band together to pull off their dead husbands’ planned heist, she keeps the proceedings going with sure-footed pacing and knife-edge dialogue. Her smart, stylish caper with a nothing-left-to-lose edge reminds us of the work of crime masters like Raymond Chandler and Donald Westlake.
