I'm not sure what I'm doing with my life anymore, haha, guess I'm writing a story at two in the morning, this story is mostly based around mystery with a bit of dark humour, has a bit of minor cursing in it but it will usually be uncommon unless the characters are in a sense of peril or anger, call me out in the comments for any errors in spelling or grammar please, thank you for reading this description, updates might not come when said to come, if you're one of my friends or you know me personally, please do not read this or I will cry-
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
***
Newly widowed housewife Melody Scott needs to earn some major cash, fast. When her bright and busy children learn that a priceless ruby bracelet has been stolen and a six-figure reward is being offered, they convince her to try to do what the police, museum security, and the best private investigators have failed to do. Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family.
The Widow, Melody Scott is a 2021 Watty Award Winner!
