The premise here is a man whose wife is cheating on him with his best friend writes to five crime writers for advice on how to kill her and frame the friend for her murder. (Divorce not being an option, he married this woman for her money and would be left penniless.) As someone who has been planning perfect crimes in their head since childhood I was really hoping that these writers would come up with honest scenarios, that would have been fascinating. Unfortunately their suggestions are all completely bizarre and over the top. In the second half of the book this man has shared all the ideas with each writer, and they take turns debunking each others plan...which I had already done myself. That was mildly entertaining. I'm sure this was all great fun for the writers, but I wish it had been more realistic and less silly.
