A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage
A couple that kills together stays together.
‘Sexy, stylish, thrilling and funny. Asia Mackay rips up the rulebook in this wildly original, razor-sharp tale of marriage and murder, mundanity and mayhem. I loved it.’ Chris Whitaker
Hazel and Fox are an ordinary married couple with a baby. Except for one small thing: they’re ex-serial killers.
They had it all. An enviable London lifestyle, five-star travels, and plenty of bad men to kill. Not many power couples know how to get away with murder.
Then Hazel fell pregnant and they gave it all up for life in the suburbs; dinner parties instead of body disposal.
But recently Hazel has started to feel that itch again. When she kills someone behind Fox’s back and brings the police to their door, she must do anything she can to protect her family.
This could save their marriage – unless it kills them first.

Sexy, stylish, thrilling and funny. Asia Mackay rips up the rulebook in this wildly original, razor-sharp tale of marriage and murder, mundanity and mayhem. I loved it.
Witty and original
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. So new and different and refreshing.
An annoyingly brilliant and funny first novel
With a slick plot, pin-sharp prose and an authentic feel, this fiercely feminist and witty thriller will keep you gripped
Fresh and fun, and adroitly combines social and parenting comedy with detail-rich derring-do
With dark humour, a twisty plot and a healthy dose of genuine emotion, this unique novel is a thrilling ride
I loved it. Really entertaining, good fun and captures the mum juggle/guilt perfectly.
Witty . . . fun . . . clever. BRILLIANT!
Funny, tense, and thrilling read, with a kick-ass main character
An invaluable manual that I return to again and again
I absolutely gobbled up this darkly funny and clever thriller about one of the most dysfunctional marriages to ever make it onto the page. Loved it.
Certain to be your sassy, twisted must-read of 2025
Huge fun with a dark beating heart, a game of cat and mouse with sharpened tooth and claw. You won't dare to put it down.
Murder has never been so funny. If you liked Mr & Mrs Smith, you'll love this original and darkly funny thriller.
