The Rule of Three by E. G. Scott

THREE COUPLES.
A BOOK CLUB.
AND A POKER NIGHT GONE HORRIBLY WRONG.

Packed with gossiping neighbours, shifty spouses, and shocking turns, this is the summer read that will have you desperate to find out who did it-and why.

Once a week in Kingsland--an exclusive, gated community full of unscrupulous residents looking to do business away from prying eyes--three women get together for book club. On the same night, their husbands meet up for a card game, where much more is being plotted than anyone could imagine.

But on this particular night, things take a harrowing turn. When all three men end up dead or gravely injured, and every neighbour has a possible motive, no one seems able to answer the only question that really needs asking: Who finally took matters into their own hands?

The Rule of Three is a riveting tale, not only of powerful women and vengeful men but of secrets, blackmail, outsize egos, bad business deals, and the most intimate desires spilling over into the light of day.
