A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage, M.K. Oliver

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 ‘Scintillating … a sardonic social comedy cunningly disguised as a psychological thriller' Sunday Times 'Deliciously dark, clever satire. Lalla Rook is a genius creation.

I absolutely loved it!' Shari Lapena 'The most wildly entertaining novel you'll read this year: suspenseful but funny, shocking yet stylish' A. J. Finn ‘Big Little Lies meets Dr.
