About this audiobook
He had three perfect wives
Until one of them killed him.
'Oh, my, can this author write women!' NEW YORK TIMES
'Atmospheric and addictive' THE SUN
'I could not put it down... I loved it!' MARIAN KEYES
*****
Blake's dead. His wife killed him.
The question is... which one?
Blake Nelson moved onto a hidden stretch of land - a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah - where he lived with his three wives:
Rachel, the chief wife, obedient and doting to a fault.
Tina, the other wife, who is everything Rachel isn't.
And Emily, the youngest wife, who knows little else.
Rachel, Tina and Emily have nothing in common - except that they share a husband and a homestead.
When their beloved Blake is found dead under the desert sun, the questions pile up. But none of the widows know who would want to kill a good man like their husband.
At least, that's what they'll tell the police . . .
