When a married woman has an affair, a million questions race through her mind. My ex-wife told me this. And the questions run something like: Should she leave her husband or tough it out? Is she making more out of the affair than it really is? Or is this new guy the man of her dreams? What if she gets divorced, marries the new guy and-oops!-he turns out to be a wife beater? And what about her ex-husband? Will he be reasonably cool about the whole thing? Or kidnap their children across the Mexican border? And then Maggie said something about murder. Really chilled me… Police car and woman’s red shoe on left. Book cover of Dead Edna by D. J. Runnels on the right. Author photo turned into artwork in upper right corner. No gen AI in the writing, plotting or artwork.
