Mark Walker marries women - and kills them. He's apparently too clever for the police. Nonetheless he manages to get himself into trouble.
Mark Walker hat sich einen cleveren Plan ausgedacht, um reich zu werden: Er heiratet wohlhabende Frauen, um sie dann schnellstmöglich im Zuge eines "Unfalls" zu beseitigen. Er erregt jedoch den Verdacht von Anwalt Oliver Mason.
A Coffin for the Bride zeichnet sich durch ein besonders intelligentes Buch aus. Die Darstellungskunst von Helen Mirren ist beeindruckend.
