I always enjoy Sally Hepworth twisty, Australian novels and this short story was no exception and was quite fun.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Sharp, Suspenseful, and Darkly Entertaining**

While the ending may leave some readers wanting more, the journey is undeniably entertaining. A perfect one-sitting read for fans of dark humor and suspense.

short but thrilling.

I enjoyed this! even thiigh its short it still had an amazing twist and kept me on my toes!

Excellent short story!

I saw this book on Kindle Unlimited, and couldn’t wait until it was available. I was a little ugh about it being so short, since I hadn’t noticed before. I shouldn’t have been pouty about it because it’s a great story, and I adored the characters. Imagine being friends with your ex husband’s ex wives. lol The three of them eat at his restaurant once a week, and it doesn’t occur to any of them to pay. The ex husband doesn’t care because it’s good for business. He’s not a good man though and someone wants him dead. Probably all of them, including his daughter, who got into Harvard, and he fussed about the cost. And his son, who he locked in the freezer, as a punishment. Oh yeah, he’s a winner. But everyone has alibis. But someone did it, and it’s glorious. Definitely recommend! All the stars!!!

So Good!!!

I stumbled across this on a lark, and it was so good! Very well executed, and to say that I read so many murder mysteries that this could be fun and have a murder… It was!

WHOA!!!

What a great short! It seems Ian had a knack for getting under everyone's skin, and that ending is wild!
