Victoria's husband wants to run her father's company. Solo, rather than jointly with her. He'd like nothing more than for her to become a domestic goddess. So Victoria is plotting to kill him.
However, before she can execute her plan, he turns up dead and it appears she is being framed for his murder.
I struggled with this one. The characters were all very unlikeable to the point I didn't feel engaged. Normally this is my type of book, but I felt disconnected.
I did love that Victoria was a baddie not standing for being made an (un) happy housewife. And the short chapters made for a quick read.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Penzler Publishers - Scarlet for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
