The witty and gripping new thriller introducing your new favourite murderous heroine: Lalla Rook. 'Lalla Rook is ruthless, unapologetic and shamelessly murderous, you're going to love her' Gillian McAllister ‘A wickedly dark and hilarious debut … witty, wise and wildly entertaining’ Alice Feeney 'Deliciously dark, clever satire. Lalla Rook is a genius creation.
I absolutely loved it!' Shari Lapena - 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.
