Summary: Meet Lalla Rook. Lalla has a lot on her to-do list: help her husband
make partner by flattering his masculinity, secure her dream home in
Hampstead, get her daughter into private school, host her
four-year-old’s birthday party, and remove the dead body from her living
room.
Lalla can’t pretend she hasn’t missed the adrenaline rush
that comes with transgressing. And, as a wife and mother, she’s already
an expert multitasker. So disposing of a body, framing a friend, and
being the world’s best homemaker should be easy to achieve.
It’s
just that her husband seems distracted, her daughter faces an uncertain
academic future, and then there is the unexpected intruder in her
living room, a stranger she has stabbed seven times. Avoiding the law is
the least of her worries—not when she has a past to keep hidden.
Brimming with brio, humor, and just a dash of murder, A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage introduces a brilliant new anti-heroine in “
the most wildly entertaining novel you'll read this year” (A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window). (Pub Date: Feb 17 2026)

Summary: Can you fall in love like they do in the movies? It’s Evie Summers’s job to find out. Because if she can’t convince her film agency’s biggest client, Ezra Chester, to write the romantic-comedy screenplay he owes producers, her career will be over. The catch?
