A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage

The witty and gripping new thriller introducing your new favourite murderous heroine: Lalla Rook. 'The most wildly entertaining novel you'll read this year: suspenseful but funny, shocking yet stylish' – A. J. Finn ‘A wickedly dark and hilarious debut … witty, wise and wildly entertaining’ – Alice Feeney 'Wickedly, wickedly funny … It's a pure delight to read' William Shaw - There’s a dead body in my living room. I’ve not called the police because it was I who stabbed him. Seven times in all. The truth is, it’s surprisingly difficult to dispatch someone with a vegetable knife. In case you’re wondering, the dead man is not my husband. I do resent our pitiful sex life and his woeful lack of ambition, but I wouldn’t murder him for it. Not yet, anyway. Right now, I have far more pressing concerns: scheming to get my daughter into the perfect school; buying my dream home in Hampstead; and disposing of a corpse. A woman’s work is never done. I’ve created the perfect life – and I’ll kill to keep it.
