The Ex-Wives Murder Club - by Mette Ivie Harrison (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Ever want to kill your partner? Join the club! Three ex-wives band together to murder their evil husband and wind up in the business of killing the worst of humanity. A darkly humorous suspense, with a heartwarming LGBTQ+ romance, perfect for fans of Elle Cosimano, Joanna Wallace, and Katy Brent.

What do you do when you realize you married a horrible man?
Kill him of course!

For Meg (wife #1), Jenny (#2), and Amelia (#3), the term 'a woman scorned' isn't strong enough. They want more than revenge for the years of their life they wasted with their pitiful excuse for a husband. They want him dead.

As they carry out their lethal plan, they soon realize they're thinking too small. What about all the other men (and women) who cause immeasurable suffering and get away with it?

Thus 'the business' is born. A dazzling new female-owned venture that will change the course of their lives--and shorten many others! And, for Meg and Jenny, it could allow them to experience a love they never thought possible . . .

A laugh out loud, feminist revenge story with horror elements. Readers will be clamoring for more from Mette Ivie Harrison.
