I think this was a freebie through BookBub – at least I hope it was free as I’d hate to think I paid anything for it.

Jack collapses and dies suddenly, leaving his wife, Pam, and two children. At the moment he collapses he is having an argument with his brother who, once Jack collapses, steals his wallet. When Pam gets to the hospital to say goodbye another woman has just come out of the room where Jack’s body is being kept.

So far not a bad scenario. But it just gets worse. Jack had a long-standing affair with Pam’s sister, his other mistress is pregnant, Pam’s mother-in-law is horrible, and her sister- and brother-in-law both end up in jail. Just when you think it is over, both Pam and her sister end up with AIDS and his mistress is HIV positive.

This is #2 in a series of 5 but there is no way I’ll ever read another one.
