The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club

Kat Hu finds out her boyfriend Tucker Jones has also proposed to Olivia McCarthy. He is seeing a third woman too, Elle Henderson, whom he met on a dating app. Instead of turning on each other, the three decide to get even. They plan to break into his condo and trash it.

They arrive to find Tucker already dead. A detective catches Kat still holding a broom. Her fingerprints are the only ones at the scene, and the police like her for it. Kat, Olivia and Elle start looking into who else wanted Tucker gone, working from his history of taking money from people who trusted him.

The three exes compare notes on a man who lied to all of them at once. That shared history becomes an investigation the police never asked them to run.

The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club is a cozy mystery that plays its murder for laughs: banter-heavy, fast-moving, more caper than dread. It is Gloria Chao's first novel for adult readers after several YA titles, including Ex Marks the Spot. It became a USA Today bestseller in its first week.
