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. Their record collections are classical, not criminal. 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, but not with life imprisonment for killing your spouse. But when Jazz Jardine is arrested for her husband's murder, the joke falls flat. Marriage, it would appear, is a fun-packed frivolous hobby, only occasionally resulting in death. "Where there's a will, I intend to be in it", wives half-joke to each other. All women want to kill their husbands some of the time. ![]()
