"My husband did not mean to kill Annie Doyle, by the lying tramp deserved it," reads the book's sleeve.
In his review of the book, Richard said, "This thoroughly engaging thriller becomes darker and murkier by the page. It's like an inverted stage farce."
Judy said Nugent "grips you by the throat and you dangle helplessly from her iron first until the last sentence, when she lets you go, and you drop, exhausted, to the floor."
