In this gripping novel, three extraordinary women, whose lives have been turned upside down by their husbands' crimes, team up to catch a serial killer.

Stubborn Beverly strives to control everything around her, while raising two children. As for Elsie, who is passionate about reading, she struggles to fulfill herself in the newsroom, where she works among men who mock her professional ambitions. The attractive Margot prefers staying up late and partying to housework, and devotes all her energy to maintaining the appearance that everything is fine, anything to hide the shame of her husband's infidelity. They know that people are looking at them and only thinking about one thing: How could they not have known what their husbands were doing? How responsible are they for this? However, when a series of local murders make the headlines, the three underrated, overlooked, and intelligent women decide to spring into action. After all, who was more worthy of catching a murderer than those who shared their lives and homes with him?
