How To Murder Your Mother-in-Law (Ellie Haskell)

Features of How to Murder Your Mother-in-Law (Ellie Haskell)

The award-winning author of Femmes Fatal and The Thin Woman serves up the ubiquitous mother-in-law joke family style-with death for the punch line. . . .Nothing like a live-in mother-in-law to reduce a woman to the role of junior housemaid. Thats what Ellie Haskell discovers when her husbands parents have a row in the midst of their anniversary dinner, and mother Magdalene seeks refuge in Ellies guest bedroom. Suddenly Ellie is being driven round the bend by the womans constant demands.Thank goodness for the other wives who also suffer the age-old mother-in-law curse. A chance meeting down at the Dark Horse pub finds them trading horror stories, and soon theyre mixing gin and tonics with homicidal fantasies-a soupon of poison here, a broken brake line there. All very therapeutic and no harm intended. At least, thats what Ellie thinks. . . .Praise for How to Murder Your Mother-in-LawVintage Cannell. . . .
