‘Wonderfully wicked’RED

'You know Diana Leyland… she climbed the ladder by marrying a man on each rung! I think she gets rid of them when she’s got what she needs… I wonder who’s next?'

Diana Leyland has her sights set on a new target, David Farrand.

Finally, the type of wealth she has always dreamed of. A five-storey house in Hampstead, social status, free reign over an eye-watering bank balance. If she can ensnare David then she really will have unlocked the elite level of life. And Diana's well-practised in climbing the social ladder, with three husbands under her belt. Such a shame they all died so quickly, but surely fourth time's the charm.

The only snag? His daughter, Cat. Entitled, suspicious and used to getting her own way, Cat's got her claws into Diana and will stop at nothing to reveal the truth about Diana's murky past.

Because to lose one husband is unlucky. To lose two is careless. But three? Three must be murder…
