The Wicked Wife — Martin Brown

In Book 2 of the MURDER IN MARIN Mysteries: When billionaire William Adams -- Marin County's most eligible widower -- marries international superstar model Willow Wisp, Belvedere's society women are dismayed. After all, she is half his age and, in their view, not interested in anything other than his money. Like everyone else, newspaper publisher Rob Timmons, his assistant, Holly Cross, and his childhood friend, Sheriff's Detective Eddie Austin, are baffled when Willow vanishes. Is she dead or simply hiding in some far flung corner of the world with one of her many rumored lovers? Or was she the victim of a cuckolded husband, who learned too late that his trophy bride was in truth, a very wicked wife? The answers lie somewhere between the posh hotels of Paris, the dazzling parties of San Francisco, and the lush green hills of Marin County.
