"A funny, feisty, gallivant around-the-world quest by three widows searching for answers after they discover all of their money has been stolen by their dead husband. "
This novel makes no apologies for being an absolute riot from start to finish. Author of The Revenge Club Kathy Lette, kills off a decidedly awful swindler of a husband who was married to three different women, and then packs them off around the world in pursuit of their stolen money. It feels as though a lot of fun was had in the writing of this novel. You can throw real life to one side while you dive in headfirst and have a blast. It is brilliantly imaginative, and at times has an almost slapstick sense of humour, while also highlighting what women do best, friendship, resilience and determination. I loved how the exploits and adventures piled on top of one another as these women circumvented the globe. Till Death, Or a Little Light Maiming, Do Us Part is a roaring, sniggering, festival of a read with a big heart.

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.
