*****

Blake's dead. His wife killed him.
The question is... which one?

Rachel, Emily and Tina have nothing in common - except that they share a husband and a homestead.

When their beloved Blake is found dead under the desert sun, the questions pile up. But none of the widows know who would want to kill a good man like their husband.

At least, that's what they'll tell the police...
