What if the only way to bury the truth is to bury your husband?
The first attempt at killing her husband was the night of the dinner party.
Wendy and Thom met at school and through four decades of birthday milestones, weekends away and raising a son, they've lived a seemingly comfortable and successful life together. But what are the dark secrets their marriage was built on, and what has now, fatally, changed?
Readers were gripped by Kill Your Darlings:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Twisty, gripping and wonderfully dark. Everything you could ask for'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Brilliant . . . the unusual original structure of this book sets it apart from countless others in the genre.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Fascinating and chilling - this is more than just a murder story, we also witness the slow destruction of a marriage.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Inventive and oh so clever . . . I raced through this'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Whoa - the backwards telling was ingenious!
