This astonishing crime novel—inspired by the Tudor era—takes the reader into the world of Kate Parker, who has just married billionaire Hank Tudor when a headless body is discovered near their summer home . . .
Kate Parker knows what she's getting into when she marries billionaire businessman Hank Tudor—she's his sixth wife, after all, and was by his side (as his assistant) when his fifth marriage to actress Caitlyn Howard fell apart.

But honeymoon plans go awry when a headless body is discovered near Hank's summer home, forcing Kate to contend with two more of his exes: Catherine Alvarez—the first—who lives as a shut-in with her computers, carefully following Tudor Enterprises; and Anna Klein—the fourth—who runs a bed-and-breakfast where she and her wife keep a steady eye on things—particularly Hank's children, Lizzie and Teddy.

In this clever and suspenseful reimagining of Tudor era betrayals, these three women become entwined in a deadly game of cat and mouse—with each other, Hank, and Hank's brilliant fixer, Tom Cromwell—as Kate seeks to solve the puzzle of who the murdered woman is, who killed her, and whether her death has any connection to the other headless body from eight years ago.

      Going from personal assistant to sixth wife, Kate Parker thought she was aware of what it would mean to marry billionaire Hank Tudor. However, two weeks after their City Hall wedding, the reality is peppered with surprises. When the headless body of a woman is found in the marsh between Hank's Greenwich cottage and the B&B owned and operated by his fourth wife, Anna, the details are eerily similar to an old, unsolved murder on a different Tudor property. With a relatively small cast of characters, it is the wives in this story who offer glimpses of interesting backgrounds and ranges of emotions that feel more and more relatable as we start to understand just how the family dynamics could be connected to two murdered women. As multiple mysteries begin to unravel, legitimate hints and red herrings are revealed. Fans of Dirty Laundry, by Disha Bose; The Last Word, by Taylor Adams; or Goodbye Earl, by Lessa Cross-Smith, will be interested in giving this book a look.
