The Black Widow's Lie

Some women mourn.

Victoria celebrates.

She's been married six times. Five funerals.

But Victoria Hale has always emerged unscathed-graceful, wealthy, and tragically misunderstood.

A respected psychologist with a gift for grief counseling and a face made for sympathy, no one suspects the truth behind her husbands' untimely deaths.

Until now.

When her latest husband, Michael, vanishes from the deck of a cruise ship without a trace, the story should be simple: he was terminally ill. A man with only weeks to live. But his disappearance raises more questions than answers-especially when his body is never recovered.

He was dying.

He just didn't die fast enough.

Now, Victoria's carefully curated world begins to crack.

The insurance claim stalls. The media stirs.

Strange messages start arriving-taunting, precise, and personal.

Someone knows what she did.

Someone is watching.

And someone is out to make sure the Black Widow finally gets tangled in her own web.

As the investigation heats up and the whispers grow louder, Victoria must decide who she can trust-and how far she'll go to protect the life she's built.

Because this time, she's not the only one planning a burial at sea.

A gripping psychological thriller full of deadly secrets, Southern charm, and a woman who always gets what she wants-until now.

About the Author

Carol A. Campbell writes psychological thrillers with Southern charm and a deadly twist. Based in Louisiana, she's the creator of Bayou Vista-a fictional small town where secrets don't stay buried, and sweet tea won't save you. When she's not plotting jaw-dropping twists, she's chasing her tiny coauthor: a spirited chihuahua named Jack. Together, they've made murder strangely charming.
