This is an entertaining, although completely implausible, thriller focusing on three women at the center of this mystery surrounding the death of a successful businessman. His wife just took out a million dollar insurance policy on his life. His girlfriend was with him when he had the car accident that killed him, but she ran away before anyone found them. Finally, the insurance investigator who's looking into the claim begins to question some of the details about the accident. The author throws in a lot of red herrings, including the girlfriend's husband who's been acting strange, the wife's romantic interest in another man, the partner who appears to be doing something fishy with the finances of their company. There are a lot of loose ends that aren't really tied up in the fairly rushed ending, and one important detail about who is responsible for the murder is left intentionally vague. This is a very readable diversion, but not ultimately very satisfying.
