What is Imperfect Women all about

Apple TV's Imperfect Women is a TV adaptation of Araminta Hall's novel of the same name. It's a psychological thriller that looks into the crime that shatters the lives of three women who have been friends for several decades. 

Apple TV's press release further describes the plot of the series:

"The unconventional thriller explores guilt and retribution, love and betrayal, and the compromises we make that irrevocably alter our lives. As the investigation unravels, so does the truth about how even the closest friendships may not be what they seem."

Araminta Hall's description of her novel reveals more about the story that the series could explore. The plot follows after Nancy Hennessy is murdered, leaving behind her two best friends, a husband, and a daughter. There's also a secret lover, but the identity of that person was something she brought to her grave. 

Investigation into Nancy's death uncovers hidden truths and dark details that even her two closest friends start to question if they really knew her. There's also the mystery of Nancy's murderer.
