The Widow She Framed

She confessed to murder. That was the easy part. Cora spent six months building the perfect case against herself — the antifreeze, the salted laptop, the neighbour at the pharmacy window. She wanted to be caught. She wanted it to stop. Then a stranger named Ren walks into court and testifies that Cora is innocent, because Ren killed him. Cora is freed. Ren moves in. And two widows begin a slow, immaculate war in a house neither of them should own. Ren has a Victorian recipe book in the kitchen drawer. The margins are full of notes. Some of them are in Cora's handwriting. As the police circle back, and a stepson arrives calling Ren 'mum', Cora has to decide what she is willing to remember — and what she is willing to cook. A tense, darkly funny psychological thriller with a final twist that reframes every page.
