The Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage


Author, Asia Mackay, pens a witty, off the wall dark comedy thriller about two serial killers trying to find normalcy in parenthood. Hazel and Fox used to have it all; lavish European vacations, luxury meals, late night parties, and some light murder for pleasure. Killing bad men was exciting and fun and helped make the world a better place. When Hazel unexpectedly ends up pregnant, Fox insists they put their life of crime behind them and become normal parents. It’s much easier said than done, however. Hazel is itching to take someone out and Fox secretly joins AA and starts gambling to keep himself in check. When Hazel “accidentally” kills someone, she doesn’t want Fox to know she cheated on him and their new safe existence. But the secrets keep piling up. Why does having a baby have to complicate everything? Expertly narrated by both Georgia Tennant and Kyle Soller, who effuse wit, annoyance, and charm into the dual narrative. Georgia’s posh London accent and Kyle’s annoyed American demeanor are distinct and very on point with the characters thy are portraying. Witty, unique, and thrilling; readers will find themselves relating to parenthood struggles and repelled by the murder. For fans of Butcher & Blackbird and other dark romance.
