来自编辑Jack Butler的推荐: 

From literally the first paragraph of Asia’s incredible thriller I was 100% in. This book has everything I look for in a page-turner: a dangerously sexy set of characters – imagine if Mr and Mrs Smith were serial killers – absolutely riveting pace and a hilariously dark sense of humour. Dropping these killers into the powder-keg of domesticated suburbia, replacing meticulously-planned murder with childcare and dinner parties is a masterstroke, and I read the whole thing on the edge of my seat waiting for it to explode.

 

来自阿歇特版权主管Rebecca Folland的推荐:

From the very first page I was into this one hook, line and sinker – it’s funny, sharp, pacey and the characters are brilliantly drawn.

Hazel跟Fox是对正常夫妻—对外界来说,他们是简直完美—只要你不去他们的地下室。他们是朋友圈里人人羡慕的模范家庭,幼儿园里的所有妈妈都嫉妒他们有这么多时间能够如此投入女儿的生活。他们看似完美,但完美的外表背后他们有一个惊人的秘密:他们其实是连环杀手。


他们是一对默契十足的连环杀手,他们只杀坏男人,而世界总是不缺少坏男人可以除掉。当Hazel发现自己怀孕后,一切都变了。他们决定不要再杀人,给孩子一个正常的生活。但是这几年来,Hazel有个秘密:她还在继续杀人。这会结束这个婚姻,还是Fox会再次被卷入这种双面生活?
