But.. stick with it and you'll learn she isn't so dumb. Eventually she stands up and fights back. It gets better and better.

My novel "Blue Moon Bench" was inspired by this classic, and is about a woman who marries the perfect man, and finds his first wife died in a mysterious way. Is she married to a murderer?
