Lalla Rook is happily in possession of an adoring husband, two beautiful children and a beautiful house. (Tick, tick, tick). She's even stopped killing people (double tick). Or had, until she found an uninvited man snooping through her living room. Now she has a dead body to dispose of amidst the stress of hosting a four-year-old's birthday party. But the show must go on -- you can't cancel key social events without difficult questions being asked, not even for an unidentified corpse in your front room. Lalla can't pretend she hasn't missed the adrenaline rush that comes with murder. As a wife and mother, she's necessarily an expert multitasker. So, burying a body, "framing" a friend and getting her daughter into a top school can be managed alongside the usual domestic minutiae. It's just that her husband, Stephen, seems distracted, her daughter's drowning of the class hamster is affecting her prospects and then there is the unexpected reappearance of an old flame. And, inconveniently, the police have chosen the worst possible time to finally take an interest in her. For fans of Killing Eve and My Sister, the Serial Killer, a sharp and brilliant romp of a novel about a reformed sociopath trying to build a successful family life and find her perfect home in North London -- whatever the cost-- Provided by publisher.
