Emma’s marriage has been on the rocks for years now. She has even openly joked with her friend and staff that she wishes her husband would just die. It would certainly make her life easier. He has dominated her ever since they got married but no more, Emma is now ready to reclaim her life. After a vacation to Paris with her best friend, Emma finally has the proof she needs of her husband’s infidelity to end this marriage and ask for a divorce. Upon returning home however, Emma finds her husband face down in the pool….dead. And the police suspect she has something to do with it, and will do anything they can to prove it. 

Overall rating 3/5 

I was hooked by the opening of this book but it soon dragged on for me in the following chapters. The middle of the book I felt was just a bandaid to hold us over until the ending twist and ultimate conclusion. I would have loved more of the hilarious banter given in the beginning between Emma and her friend. Or more development of the relationship between Emma and her children. I did like the multiple layers of twists at the end.
