I worked out fairly early why Andrew was murdered but the doubt about who did it kept me turning the pages. The women’s animosities towards each other ramp up as they become more entangled in each others’ lives heading into the party weekend. Andrew is a TV anchor who is still very much involved in his ex’s life, much to Caz’s chagrin. The narrative then backtracks to the weeks before the fateful wedding anniversary party of Louise’s parents where the death occurred. The question is: which one of them killed him? As the cover of this riveting read says: ‘One in three marriages end in divorce, this one ends in murder.’ The opening scene reveals that Andrew has been stabbed to death and his ex-wife Louise and current wife Caz are found standing over his body.
