A novel which will strike a cord with married women everywhere and ensure that, from now on, they all read the small print on their marriage licenses. This is Kathy Lette at her brilliant best, casting her trade mark caustic eye on what goes on in the bedrooms and kitchens of ordinary married couples. Its about the fact that no woman has ever shot her husband while he was vacuuming. Its about how todays mother is often a married lone parent. Cassie and Hannah set out immediately to prove their best friends innocence, uncovering betrayal, adultery, plot twists, thinner thighs and toy boys aplenty en route but will their friendship survive these ever darker revelations? Sexy, funny and wise, Kathy Lettes irresistible new novel is about women not Having It All But Doing It All. Jazz, stay-at-home mum and domestic goddess Hannah, childless career woman and Cassie, demented working mother of two are three ordinary women. Life should begin at 40 - not with life imprisonment for killing your spouse. But when Jazz Jardine is arrested for her husbands murder, the joke falls flat. Marriage, it would appear, is a fun-packed frivolous hobby, only occasionally resulting in death. All women want to kill their husbands some of the time "Where theres a will, I intend to be in it," wives half-joke to each other.
