Grace Madigan’s return to Huntsville, Alabama was a non-event until the morning she jogged her way into the scene of a brutal murder.  While having formed a strictly platonic relationship with her ex-husband and former cop turned PI, Ray Madigan, she was now forced to rely on him to protect her from a vicious killer. Grace is suddenly thrust back into the arms of easy going, sexy Ray and a lifestyle she escaped from six years ago.

Ray Madigan, while maintaining a friendly relationship with all three of his ex-wives, was clearly stressed out by his relationship with ex-wife number one, Grace.  Grace is the woman of his dreams, his soulmate and the one he loves more than any other. Six years ago without any explanation, she left him. He has spent the last six years drifting in and out of relationships trying to replace Grace.  Ray’s theory was he had a perfectly wonderful marriage with Grace and if marriage worked so great with her it could be great with someone else.  It didn’t work with anyone else and it took two tries to prove it, now Grace is back to turn his world more upside down than it already is. The fact that he was going to have to be with her twenty four/seven protecting her until a murderer was caught only added to his pain.

MADIGAN’S WIFE is a well written book with the elements of a great mystery and an even greater love story with exciting sex, everything the romance reader looks for in a good book.  The relationship portrayed in MADIGAN’S WIFE is an excellent example of what happens when two people that love each other very much don’t bother to sit down and talk out their troubles.  It is easy to tell from the very first chapter of the book that Grace and Ray have a deep bond of  love that got thrown aside through lack of communication. 

Linda Winstead Jones’ ability to layout a murder scene rivals any seasoned mystery writer and her skillfully developed relationship between Grace and Ray and his two ex-wives will make the reader laugh and cry.  This reader was sorry to see the story end, however, Ms Jones will be taking us back to Huntsville this summer for another story and hopefully we will get a peek at how Grace and Ray are doing.
