How to Murder Your Dear Wife
If you want to write a novel, maybe, learn from someone who’s written one.
Meet Martin, a broke British drama teacher trying to make ends meet in a picturesque Irish town. Saddled with a subprime mortgage containing terms & conditions that even loan sharks would disapprove of, he seeks a deadly escape route. A healthy payout would be some consolation should anything happen to his dear wife…
Enter Laura, a nurse and medieval weapons expert with plans of her own, and none of them involve getting murdered.
However, the stage is set. Someone is going to die. Most likely during the Lough Ree International Pike Fishing Festival.
