Product Description

Daily Mail
'A darkly funny, pun filled satire on yummy mummy culture, with humanity at its heart'. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

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 - 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 trade mark caustic eye on what goes on in the bedrooms and kitchens of ordinary married couples. 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really Awful, 1 April 2008
By ML (Europe) - See all my reviews
It is terrible. Filled with cliche, predictable and a general waste of time. It is light enough to read during sex, at least if you are the lead character in the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars awful, 2 Aug 2007
By J. roberts "garage" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i skim read most of this book, just to see if it got any better near the end, it didn't. either i'm getting too old for chick lit (perish the thought) or this just isn't one of the good ones. in my opinion the author tried too hard to be funny and wasn't. couldn't take to any of the characters.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment!, 1 Jul 2006
By C. Duckworth (Dartford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had high hopes of this one - great eye-catching title from the usually reliable Kathy Lette - but what a let-down. I couldn't relate to any of the brittle, shallow characters and laughs were few and far between. What a shame.
