When Jason Riley goes missing, feared killed by a shark, his family - make that families - have many questions. Hearing a news report that a man on his morning swim has been taken by a Great White, teacher Gwen races to the beach, and finds all that remains of Jason Riley, her husband, is his swimming cap and a piece of torn, blood-stained wetsuit. Her shock and heartbreak are soon interrupted by a woman screeching to a halt on a motorbike. Tish screams for information, convinced it' s her husband who' s been taken by the man-eater. Gwen reassures her that Jason Riley is the man who' s perished. ' I know! Jason Riley' s my husband!' Tish sobs. Needless to say, their grief is somewhat blighted by the realisation they' ve both been married to a bigamist. And their mutual animosity is not assuaged when they learn that Jason recently sent all his - make that their - money to a mysterious ' business partner' in Egypt, Skye. They fly to Cairo, confront Skye, and discover that not only did Jason marry her last year, but he' s stolen her life savings too. Till Death, or a Little Light Maiming, Do Us Part is a revenge caper that propels our double-crossed threesome through continents on the trail of truth and retribution. As they embark on a chase for their money, they build new friendships, discover much about themselves, and when closure is had they are bursting with energy for the next phase of their life.
