I don't believe Kathy Lette ever surpassed her first novel, [[''Foetal Attraction]] '' which was published way back in 1994. It was roaringly funny. Everything she has published since has been like an exercise in warring siblings who can never quite be as clever, funny, charming or thoughtful as that loathed eldest child. ''How To Kill Your Husband'' comes under that unfortunate banner. The best part about reading it was the looks I received whilst perusing its pages on the tube. Especially whilst seated next to my husband!
Jazz Jardine is a stay at home mum; actually, she's not really the true definition of a stay at home mum in my view, she lives in a multi-million pound house with her surgeon husband and has a designer label loo brush. Anyway, I digress; Cassie is a working mother, tortured by her job as a primary school teacher and the distinct lack of promotion to deputy head that she so richly deserves, and who is also a doormat, a dogsbody and an all round serf for husband Rory - the local vet - and her two diabolical children. Hannah is a childless career woman, married to an arty type fifteen years her junior, superior, aloof and apparently colder than Saturn.
