Synopsis:
It is 5:30 am on Clio's forty-fifth birthday and her hated ex is lying dead on her doorstep. Even worse, this is no accident. Someone’s killed him...
When single mum Clio’s ex Gary turns up dead on the doorstep of her caravan – the one she’s been forced to live in ever since he stole every penny she had – there’s only one suspect. Her.
What’s more, she doesn’t remember much about the night he was killed – not just because of the forgetfulness that’s been plaguing her along with the hot flushes – but because she definitely had one too many cocktails with her two best friends Amber and Jeanie.
Clio does remember them talking about how much they all hated him though. And, in the frame for murder, she has to ask herself – if she didn’t kill Gary, who did? One of his many enemies? Or someone a little closer to home? And can she and her friends find the real killer before it’s too late?
Review:
I devoured this book in one sitting. It's a fun read with older characters for a change, with lots of red herrings and characters that are totally believable and a story that could happen to anyone, with exes you hate! Told from the perspective of the three women friends, it gives you a good look at all three characters and what they will do for each other and their backgrounds. it's a fun tale that will leave you laughing out loud and eagerly awaiting the next book in the series, Murder on the Dance Floor, which comes out next month.
