'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 again and has the perfect new target.

Finally, the type of wealth she's always dreamed of. A five-storey house in Hampstead, unfettered access to London's liberal elite and a bloated bank account. If she can ensnare David Farrand, then she really will have clawed her way right to the top.

And Diana's got form. Three husbands already under her belt, she knows exactly how to reel them in. Such a shame the silly old fools all died so quickly, but let's not blame the woman now.

The only snag? David's daughter, Cat. Entitled, suspicious and used to getting her own way. Diana might have got her claws into David, but Cat's not averse to a fight, 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.
