From the co-creator of Deadpool and author of Suburban Dicks comes a murder mystery that features two unlikely sleuths investigating a murder that reveals the dark underbelly of suburban marriage.
... what a read! One can absolutely expect irreverent humor from the co-creator of Deadpool, and I already knew from my enthusiastic reading of Mr Nicieza’s work in comics that he has the chops to write twisty, thrilling mysteries with compelling characters. I was completely unprepared, however, for his keen insight into the chaos of suburban life and marriage. The way he entwines both outright villainy with subtle but no-less-cutting social slights is just exquisite ... I was really impressed not only by the construction and execution of this terrific mystery, but also by how the characters dealt with external doubt and internal insecurities ... I can’t wait to read more of their exploits, and am so glad that this author’s excellent work in comics has translated so enthrallingly to a more mainstream print medium.
... amusing ... ike its predecessor, The Self-Made Widow entertains, amuses and outsmarts en route to its grade-A, capital-D dramatic moment, although this one doesn't require a cleanup crew. Nicieza digs deep into Andrea's and Kenny's respective pasts, shedding light on the 'borderline spectrum murder savant,' as one of Andrea's friends describes her, and the 'dashing suburban muckraker,' as Kenny defines himself.
... offers a brilliant blend of searing social commentary, acerbic wit, and heart-wrenching tragedy ... This is an outstanding domestic thriller that effectively combines suburban comedy with a surprise-filled plot.
