A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage

A Novel

De: Asia Mackay

Narrado por: Georgia Tennant, Kyle Soller

Two former serial killers trying to keep their past buried realize that old habits die hard in this “wildly original, razor-sharp thriller” (Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark).

“An invaluable manual that I return to again and again.”―Hugh Grant

I wasn't smashing the patriarchy; I was killing it. Literally.

Hazel and Fox are an ordinary married couple with a baby. Except for one small thing: they're murderers. Well, they used to be. They had it all. An enviable London lifestyle, five-star travels, and plenty of bad men to rid from the world. Then Hazel got pregnant.

Now, they’re just another mom-and-dad-and-baby. They gave up vigilante justice for life in the suburbs: arranged play dates instead of body disposals, diapers over daggers, mommy conversations instead of the sweet seduction right before a kill. Hazel finds her new life terribly dull. And the more she forces herself to play her monotonous, predictable role, the more she begins to feel that murderous itch again.

Meanwhile, Fox has really taken to being a father. Always the planner, he loves being five steps ahead of everyone and knowing exactly what’s coming around the bend. Plus, if anyone can understand Hazel needing one more kill, it’s Fox. But then Hazel kills someone without telling Fox. And when police show up at their door, Hazel realizes it will take everything she has to keep her family together.

Entertainment purposes only

Great listen, very entertaining. I did laugh out loud a few times. It is not believable at all but it was a fun story, kept me interested and entertained the entire story.

Great narration & fun concept

Really enjoyed the narration, especially the female narrator. The whole concept was a fun twist on the dull, suburban, married couple getting their groove back. I laughed out loud and had several enthusiastic,, head-nodding moments where I had to stop myself from saying "I know, right?" out loud. So, per the clever ask at the very end of the credits, I am leaving a 5-star review (my first review ever, as I'm generally too lazy despite listening to hundreds of books a year-I know, I'm the worst!). I look forward to the rainbows and bells!

It's not great literature, but it is a lot of fun.

A story about two serial killers who only kill despicable men. Very clever. My favorite part is when the wife inadvertently forms a friendship with a police detective. I won't ruin the plot by telling more. Give it a listen. You'll enjoy it.

original premise on love and marriage

I really enjoyed Haze and Fox and hearing ezch side of their stories.I felt as Haze and Fox were in marriage therapy with me which kept me riveted about how they were going to deal with each other

Can hardly hear the woman narrator.

This was such a fun story!! I did not see the twist at the end coming!

Out of this world! I am speechless at how good this book was!

My new favorite author and by far the very best narrator I have encountered, and I have listed to offer 200 audiobooks!

Bravo

What a dark and interesting twist when serial killers marry one another and have a family. Really enjoyed the ending. I loved their love for one another.

Excellent, but a little slow

this was excellent, except that it did drag on a little in the middle. I don’t want to say too much and ruin it for everyone, but the concept was really funny. Two serial killers find each other and fall in love and get married and decide to stop killing because they have a daughter, but it causes problems. It could have really been a funny concept with laugh out loud parts all through the book, but it wasn’t written quite that way. It would’ve been really enjoyable like that. But it was still fantastic except that it just got a little slow through the middle. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely perfect.

I personally really liked it.

The plot twists were solid, the narration is really good. I enjoyed the characters a lot, even if Haze got on my last nerve. lol. It’s really engaging, the author has a strong narrative voice. My favorite book so far this year.

Voice actors were amazing.

Great story with outstanding voice actors. Kept me interested in continuing listening which meant I needed to find tasks that worked well with audio books.
