She Loved Him to Death
By T. F.
Sisters
Samantha
and Grant are happily married--until Cynthia comes along. She's
a rich blonde seductress who cares only about herself. Cynthia gets
everything she wants, and she wants Grant.
Grant
loves his wife and children, but finds himself unable to resist
Cynthia's charms. He becomes obsessed with her and divorces Samantha.
Cynthia
soon discovers that although Grant is a successful lawyer, he is
deeply in debt. Cynthia regrets marrying Grant; however, divorcing
in a communal property state would be too costly. Instead she begins
to plan. First she convinces him that they should each take out
a million-dollar insurance policy naming the other as the sole beneficiary.
Next she contacts an old friend who just happens to be a hit man.
This
short book makes for easy reading in one sitting. It is a good effort
for a first novel. Some of the dialogue is a little stilted, and
Cynthia is so mean that at times she is slightly unbelievable. However,
the story line more than makes up for any weaknesses. Engrossing
plot twists keep the pages turning.
