I would like to share a new book that people may think of more for men but if your a women and enjoy the Mafia or mysteries you should check out Mrs. Jones: Book 1 of the Adelaide Henson Mystery Series by William Cain (Author). I received a PDF copy of the book from the Author and on behalf of Voracious Readers in exchange for this review. Inside this post are my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the items you purchase.
Here is a secret you might not expect to learn about me. I’m obsessed with the mafia and anything it has to do with you can bet your bottom dollar I will be check it out. Which is why I wanted to read Mrs. Jones: Book 1 of the Adelaide Henson Mystery Series. I wasn’t disappointed in the mafia and investigative proceedings although there is some unusual circumstances and just like what you would expect from the mafia a lot of violence with detailed plans.
Addy is one bad a…. detective and Cain’s Gennarro Battaglia has a story to tell from his beginnings in the family, to his rise in the business, life as a man with untold riches and a shadowy background!! From the first page you will find a lot of things going on including a FBI covert op .
Mrs. Jones: Book 1 of the Adelaide Henson Mystery Series was confusing at times because the characters had more than one name. I’m still not 100% percent sure I know who everyone really is. At times this book reminded me of Scarface and some of the old school mob movies. There is 4 books in the series and they need to be read in order not as a stand alone book.
I could see Mrs. Jones: Book 1 of the Adelaide Henson Mystery Series by William Cain (Author) being turned into a Made For Movie and even though its portrayed as a mystery I would place it in the Mafia category. Once I’ve had the opportunity to purchase the other books in the series my husband plans on reading them and I could see y son reading them as well.

Praise for Mrs. Jones
“The author has captured the humanity of his characters in this twisting and surprising plot. Fast moving and very entertaining.”
“Mrs. Jones was a great quick read. Definitely catches you right from the beginning! Looking forward to reading Book 2.”
“There is mystery, mobsters, FBI, policemen, romance, hitmen. The ending was not what I expected. The epilogue was the only part of the book that I would have wanted to change. And that Of course was at the very end. I highly recommend this book.”
About the author: William Cain
I began writing in earnest a few years ago, and I love to write and share my imagination. I’ve written many papers and documents throughout my career in technology, and I now have the time to put pen to paper, judiciously. Before, I was too busy. So, I left that behind me and began writing this new series – the Adelaide Henson Mystery Series. It reads like a continuous saga, and follows the lead character as she grows and becomes the powerful woman she is.
People, friends, find it odd that I am now the author of my books. And I tell you, the reader, you have it in you also. You can write, most avid readers can, and they should. Everyone has a good book in them and ideas to share. The idea for this series came from my own experiences – I just embellished and surrounded them with a good story line. I hope you like it.
I usually write over the winter season, mostly, when the weather keeps me locked in my New York home. That’s when I find the most time, so I put my phones in the drawer and play light piano music in the background, and I write.
Well, that’s it. Oh, and I met my wife, my idea girl, when we lived in California. We have one son. I snow ski, play tennis and golf, socialize a little, go to the gym a little … and write.
Happy reading!
Bill
