Till Death, or a Little Light Maiming, Do Us Part by Kathy Lette

When Jason Riley goes missing, his family - make that families - have many questions.

Hearing a news report that a man on his morning swim has been taken by a Great White, teacher Gwen races to the beach, and finds all that remains of her husband are his swimming cap and a piece of torn, blood-stained wetsuit.

Her shock and heartbreak are soon interrupted by a woman screeching to a halt on a motorbike. Tish screams for information, convinced its her husband who has been taken by the man-eater. Gwen reassures her that Jason Riley is the man who has perished. 'I know! Jason Riley's my husband!' Tish sobs.

Needless to say, their grief is somewhat blighted by the realisation they're both married to the same man. And their mutual animosity is not assuaged when they learn that Jason recently sent all his - make that their - money to a mysterious female 'business partner' in Egypt. Broke and betrayed, this odd couple have no choice but to follow the money.

Till Death, or a Little Light Maiming, Do Us Part is a revenge caper that propels our double-crossed heroines around the world on the trail of truth and retribution. During this odd-couple, comedic misadventure, will Gwen and Tish be at each other's throats before you can say 'lost luggage' or forge an unlikely alliance? There's wit, grit, bitter twists and surprising turns in this story about female friendship, even in the most shark-infested waters.
