"When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women in particular"--, Provided by publisherWhen a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim's home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim-- and all, for different reasons, simmering with resentment. -- adapted from back cover
