'You know Diana Leyland… she climbed the ladder by marrying a man on each rung! I think she gets rid of them when she’s got what she needs… I wonder who’s next?'

Diana’s on the hunt and has the perfect new target.

Finally, the type of wealth she’s always dreamed of. A five-storey house in Hampstead, social status, free reign over an eye-watering bank balance. If she can ensnare David Farrand, then she really will have clawed her way into the elite level of life.

And Diana's got form, with three husbands under her belt. Such a shame the silly old fools all died so quickly, but surely fourth time's the charm.

The only snag? David’s daughter, Cat. Entitled, suspicious and used to getting her own way, Cat's got her claws into Diana and will stop at nothing to reveal the truth about her murky past.

Because to lose one husband is unlucky. To lose two is careless. But three? Three must be murder…
