Product Description

All women want to kill their husbands some of the time. "Where there's a will, I intend to be in it", wives half-joke to each other. 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, but not with life imprisonment for killing your spouse. Jazz, stay-at-home mum and domestic goddess; Hannah, childless career woman; and Cassie, demented working mother of two are three ordinary women. Their record collections are classical, not criminal. 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?

Sexy, funny, and wise, Kathy Lette's irresistible new novel is about women not Having It All but Doing It All. It's about how today's mother is often a married lone parent. It's about the fact that no woman has ever shot her husband while he was vacuuming. This is Kathy Lette at her brilliant best, casting her trademark caustic eye on what goes on in the bedrooms and kitchens of ordinary married couples. A novel that will strike a cord with married women everywhere and ensure that, from now on, they all read the small print on their marriage licences.

By F. Postlethwaite VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This was my first Kathy Lette book and I wasn't sure what to expect. I am only half way through but had to share how funny i found it in places. I have had to reread some of the lines again because they have really tickled me! However, I find the charachter Hannah quite annoying and cliched. Some bits have been laugh out loud funny and some have just been plain irritating. I also found some of the language choices quite bizarre and didn't fit into the story. It seemed words like "expropriated" and other longwinded words were put in just to demonstrate that she knew what they meant and didn't help with the lighthearted approach to the story.
I would buy a Kathy Lette book again for the humour!

Brilliant 10 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
This was the first book I bought by Kathy Lette; I bought it because the title drew me in and I love it. I've read it a couple of times now and it never gets boring.

It's so funny for half of the book and yet pretty sad and heart-wrenching in the other half. It's really down to earth and you can relate to it - none of the plot has ever happened to me, thank God but I really felt like it had when I read this. I actually cried at points in it. It was my first experience in contemporary and chick literature but I really liked it. Please at least try this book and I'm sure you'll like it.

Format:Paperback
Awful essay of clichés. Almost embarrassing and depressing. Every turn of the page I kept thinking "noo, it couldn't get worse.." and every time I was WRONG!
Highly unadvisable.

One out of three ain't good
Oh dear. The good news: for the price of one book, you get three books rolled into one. The bad news: two of the books are rubbish! Read more

Brilliant, hilarious and heart wrenching. Sense of humour is a must!!
This book is brilliant, i do not normally like Chick lit at all (preferring murder/crime novels) and only read it at the badgering of a friend. It is fantastic!! Read more

Hilarious
I read this and my face hurt I laughed so much. Proper belly laughing in front of bemused strangers! The negative reviews are not justified, if you have a sense of humour read it!

The worst book I've ever read!!!! (and I've read a lot of books)
I used to like this author and was looking forwards to a traditional 'chic lit'. It was like reading a bad joke book. Have never given up on a book but wish I had. Read more
