About the Book

One dead husband. Three grieving widows... A darkly funny revenge caper from the hilarious queen of quip lit, Kathy Lette.

Book Synopsis

One dead husband. Three grieving widows.

When she hears a man has been killed by a Great White shark, Gwen races to the beach only to find that all that remains of her husband is his swimming cap and a piece of torn, blood-stained wetsuit. Her grief is soon interrupted by Tish, screaming for information about the accident. When Gwen reassures her that it's her husband, Jason Riley, who's perished, Tish's response is earth-shattering for them both: Jason was her husband too.

The women's mutual animosity is not assuaged when they learn that Jason recently sent all his - make that their - money to a mysterious 'business partner' in Egypt called Skye. But when they fly to Cairo to confront her, they find another grieving widow whose life-savings have gone missing...

As this double-crossed threesome cross continents in their search for truth and retribution, they start to realise they're embarking on a journey of self-discovery, renewal and friendship too.
