Haze and Fox\, the wild\, bad-man-killing duo had become Hazel and Nathaniel\, respectable parents and affable neighbours. This temporary blip was becoming our life...This was it.\n\nHazel and Fox are a perfectly ordinary married couple with a baby. Except for one small thing: they're ex-serial killers.\n\nThey 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.\n\nThen Hazel fell pregnant and they gave it all up for life in the suburbs; dinner parties instead of body disposal.\n\nBut 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.\n\nThis could save their marriage - unless it kills them first.\n'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\, author of All the Colours of the Dark\n \n\nOrder a copy of A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage by Asia Mackay from the Essex Book Festival online bookshop at bookshop.org\n\n \n\n\n\n \nAsia Mackay\n\n\nAsia Mackay is a television producer and author based in London.
