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.
So razor sharp, it had me reaching for the plasters. A fresh and original voice in a genre we're all fascinated with.
A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage had me from page one. It was enthralling, exciting, and so totally badass. Asia's writing is so compelling and engrossing, and she writes characters that continue to live rent free in your head.
Deviously plotted and perfectly paced, A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage is a blood-spattered breath of fresh air that had me laughing on every page. Never has domestic bliss been such badass, anarchic, laugh-out-loud fun.
Smart, funny and painfully relatable (the parenting woes not the serial killer bit). Will be a huge hit.
Hugely original, gripping, and fun
I loved A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage, it's a sharp, witty and deliciously dark cliché-busting treat, a clever homage to Mr and Mrs Smith set in British suburbia. I can't wait for the next one.
Dark, daring and disturbingly funny, this tale of love, murder and second chances will keep you hooked until the very last, blood-soaked page!
