A Sociopath's Guide to a Successful Marriage

€16.90

The witty and gripping new thriller introducing your new favourite murderous heroine: Lalla Rook.

Lalla Rook has just stabbed a man to death in her living room—seven times, with a vegetable knife—and she’s far more irritated than remorseful. Between a lackluster marriage, the pressure of getting her daughter into the perfect school, and her dream of upgrading to a Hampstead home, disposing of a corpse is just one more task on her already overloaded to‑do list.

As she juggles ambition, appearances, and increasingly dangerous choices, Lalla becomes a heroine who will protect her carefully curated life at any cost. Wickedly witty and deliciously twisted, her story turns domestic perfection into a battlefield—and she’s more than willing to kill to keep control.

The witty and gripping new thriller introducing your new favourite murderous heroine: Lalla Rook.

‘Big Little Lies meets Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ Booklist

- 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.
