International bestseller
"Entertaining, darkly funny … with humanity at its heart."
The Daily Mail
"Writing as taut as Angelina Jolie's inner thigh – and really funny."
The Times
The latest international bestseller from the author of Puberty Blues.
All women want to kill their husbands some of the time 'Where there's a will, I intend to be in it', wives half-joke to each other. Marriage, it would appear, is a fun-packed frivolous hobby, only occasionally resulting in death. But when Jazz Jardine is arrested for her husband's murder, the joke falls flat. Life should begin at 40 - not with life imprisonment for killing your spouse.
Jazz, stay-at-home mum and domestic goddess; Hannah, childless career woman; and Cassie, demented working mother of two are three ordinary women. Their record collections are classical, not criminal. 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 but will their friendship survive these ever darker revelations? A novel which will strike a chord with married women everywhere and ensure that, from now on, they all read the small print on their marriage licenses.
"How to kill your husband (and other handy household hints) is the fast talking, heart-stoppingly paced and pun-tastic culmination of all that . . . Lette's writing is as taut as Angelina Jolies' inner thigh and really funny... In her customary breezy fashion, Lette crystallises all the pitfalls facing the modern working couple: work tensions and, more darkly, what becoems of two people who have lost all respect for each other. But what makes Lette such a pro is that, as well as insight, she provides her reader with that rarest of things: a good plot. Fundamentally, this is a well constructed, tightly written thriller... It's sold to the core. Like a good marriage, really."
