Summary

Marriage, it would appear, is a fun-packed frivolous hobby, only occasionally resulting in death.

Marriage, it would appear, is a fun-packed frivolous hobby, only occasionally resulting in death. But when Jazz Jardine is arrested for her husband’s murder, the joke falls flat. Life should begin at 40 – not with life imprisonment for killing your spouse. Jazz, stay-at-home mum and domestic goddess; Hannah, childless and career-focused; and Cassie, demented working mother of two are three ordinary women. Their engagement, until now, with the police force has been on the television. Cassie and Hannah set out immediately to prove their best friend’s innocence, uncovering betrayal, adultery, plot twists, thinner thighs and toy boys aplenty en route. But will their friendship survive these ever darker revelations? A novel that will strike a chord with women everywhere and ensure that, from now on, they all read the small print on their marriage licenses.
