A Novel
by Asia Mackay
In this rollicking sequel to A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage, two (mostly) reformed serial killers discover something more deadly than murder: living in suburbia.
This couple's midlife crisis is murder ... literally.
Hazel and Fox have it all: two children, a beautiful home, and a late-night habit of eliminating people who deserve it. Yet work-life balance is hard when you want to kill bad men but raise good kids.
With a school mum tyrant on Haze's case, and Fox struggling with performance anxiety after a botched kill, things are spiraling. Therapy isn't helping, and bullet journaling has taken on a whole new meaning... .
But when they accidentally draw a dangerous group to their doorstep, the couple must pull it together—and fast. Because surviving in suburbia is no longer just a challenge. Now it's a real fight for their family's lives.
And it turns out, self-help starts with staying alive.
"Tongue-in-cheek commentary on contemporary marriage and parenthood." —Kirkus Reviews
"Familiar as the concept may be, Mackay wins the day with exceedingly likable protagonists whom readers can't help but root for. Unlike Haze and Fox's targets, this series deserves a long life." —Publishers Weekly
"As funny as it is familiar ... A perfect read for anyone who has ever tried to maintain a hobby while raising a toddler." —Tasha Coryell, author of Matchmaking for Psychopaths
