About this audiobook
Pleasing other people is hell. Pleasing herself is a revolution.The gorgeous, cosy new family drama from the bestselling author of The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison
Will curiosity kill the cat-sitter?
For more than thirty years, Delia Watson was the silent engine behind her husband Charlie's glittering music career - the perfect wife, the reliable rock. Now retired, she is ready for leisure. The universe, however, has other plans.
Trapped cat-sitting a loathsome feline in the deceptive calm of Pretty Point, Delia's patience snaps when a cryptic letter arrives from a stranger. Charlie claims ignorance, but Delia knows he is lying.
Finally, she is done playing nice.
Aided by the formidable ladies of the bridge club, Delia uncovers a sordid mystery lurking beneath the suburb's superficial charms. With a missing moggy, a furious husband, and a mother-in-law threatening police action, Delia faces a tangle of greed, ambition and betrayal where even the dead have stories to tell.
It is time for the silent partner to make some noise.
'Just the medicine needed right now. Delicious fun - with some resonant things to say about where we are now as women (stop the people pleasing!). Cataliciously addictive' Nikki Gemmell
