Can someone help me remember this book

[checkedcloth]

I am desperate to find a copy. It was written in the late 90’s ish.
Based in Dublin, a woman finds out her husband is having an affair. She chooses not confront him but to befriend the other woman.

She travels to Paris, where she follows them
she ends up become good friends with the other woman who she discovers is being beaten by her own husband
she’s got a best mate called Sylvia.
the husband is arty and fancies himself has some literary sort

does this ring any bells??

Could it be a Marian Keyes?

I used to read a lot of Patricia Scanlan books, don't recognise this storyline but sounds about the same sort of thing and might throw up similar authors?

I don’t remember a book but it’s similar to a plot on why women kill.

Thanks all. Sadly not any of them, it had a slightly dark humour edge to it.

yellow book cover!

the other woman was initially portrayed as a ‘blond bimbo’ but as she befriended her she saw more in her that she identified with.
