When Chris finds her husband Allan is having a torrid affair with her best friend Joanna, she sets about planning his demise and her friend's apparent guilt with cold-blooded expertise, helped by her experience as a forensic pathologist. She chooses her friend and colleague Don, a police inspector, as her perfect alibi. Don knows she is guilty, but every attempt he makes to prove it shows her always one step ahead.

So how will he trap her? And does he really want to?

Author's Notes

I like murder plays, and I like feisty women characters. And you know what they say about a woman scorned! Chris, the protagonist in Cold Blood, is always one step ahead of her policeman friend Don, making the most of the fact he has a "thing" for her. For my first time ever, I put a complete scene in - the immediate aftermath of the murder - where not a word is spoken as Chris cold-bloodedly cleans up after her crime. When I was writing the original, I got to the very last page before I decided (or maybe "found out" would be better) whether she got away with it or not. Since then I have been persuaded to provide alternative endings, so you decide which you want to do.
