A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage

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.
