"Meet Lalla Rook. Lalla has a lot on her to-do list: help her husband make partner by flattering his masculinity, secure her dream home in Hampstead, get her daughter into private school, host her four-year-old's birthday party, and remove the dead body from her living room. Lalla can't pretend she hasn't missed the adrenaline rush that comes with transgressing. And, as a wife and mother, she's already an expert multi-tasker. So disposing of a body, framing a friend, and remaining the world's best homemaker should be easy to achieve. It's just that her husband seems distracted, her daughter faces an uncertain academic future, and then there is the unexpected intruder in her living room, a stranger she has stabbed seven times. Avoiding the law is the least of her worries - especially since she has a past to keep hidden. Brimming with brio, humor, and just a dash of murder, A Sociopath's Guide to a Successful Marriage introduces a brilliant new antiheroine. You won't soon forget Lalla Rook - she'll make sure of it."--Book jacket flap.
