Synopsis

Before her beautiful bouncing babies came along, Ellie Haskell's life was a fairy tale. Marriage to the gorgeous super-chef Ben was going swimmingly before every day was filled with nappies, bottles and laundry.

Determined to revive her love life, Ellie joins a new local ladies' group, Fully Female, which promises to restore some oomph back to her relationship by way of a Peach Melba Love Rub.

But before long, things start going fatally wrong in the charming village of Chitterton Fells.

First, one of Ellie's new friends from the group is electrocuted in her own bathtub. Then Ellie gets a call from another group member. Her husband has fallen to his death in their boudoir at a rather inopportune moment . . .

One death could be an accident, but two is decidedly suspicious. Can Ellie save her marriage without falling foul of the curse of these femmes fatal?

Goodreads review by Brittany on October 23, 2024

Not my favorite Ellie Haskell. But it was still okay. Bless poor Ellie who is afraid her sex drive has completely dropped off of the face of the Earth, never to return again. (And who's wouldn't with 4 month old twins, washing and drying the diapers by hand because the machine keeps breaking, her hu......more

In this one, her twins are very......more
