Drowning by Numbers
Drowning by Numbers is a tale of three women of the same name, who drown their husbands in the same way, and their motive is dissatisfaction. They're confident that their crimes will not be punished because the coroner is in love with them. Eventually, the coroner is outmanoeuvred by the women, who resolve their difficulties in an amoral ending.
