Revenge is sweet and a little complicated in this dark debut from Jo Wakeman.

Though unlikely allies, Philip’s first wife, second wife and present girlfriend have one important thing in common: the manip­ulation and abuse they suffered at his hands. His latest lies and antics are the final straw, and the exes turn the tables and take on the monster with measures that surprise even themselves. But are they all really on the same side, or does one want back in Philip’s good graces? He’s about to find out. 

The Exes’ Revenge (Viking Canada) by Jo Jakeman, $25.
