The couple that kills together stays together...
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.
The Sexy Nerd's Review. . .
This story, I do not believe, was supposed to be funny, but having been married for so many years, I found myself chuckling a great deal at these characters. I could relate to them totally except for not being (emphasis on “not”) a serial killer. Having said that Hazel and Fox were a unique couple indeed. How so, you ask? If you’ve ever seen the hit show on Showtime called Dexter, then you may be familiar with the style of killing Haze and Fox would commit.
Everything about them was so typical as any other couple. They loved one another. Enjoyed having their daughter, Bibi, in their lives and they had the normal everyday ups and downs that most couples experience. But one thing neither of them could ever stand nor tolerate were bad people. When I say bad, I mean disgusting men who took advantage of women and people who were defenseless in a sense. They wanted the world to be a better place and they felt it was their duty to rid it of garbage. Haze was an artist and used her killings to fuel her creativity. Fox worked as an investment advisor and used his organizational skills to keep track of the kills they'd do and chronicle their every move so they could go undetected.
That is, until Haze, at the direction and guidance of Fox, advised her to find some friends and keep herself occupied since they gave up killing for sport since they became parents. After all, they wanted to set a great example for their young impressionable daughter and didn’t want her to ever find out what really lied beneath the surface of her parents.
So, Haze strikes up a friendship with another mom with her son about the same age as her daughter’s. The only problem was, out of all the people in the world for her to befriend, she would pick a police officer. Hmm? How does that work exactly? This is what Haze wanted to know. One rule Fox set for them is that no matter what, neither of them were to ever stray and make kills on his/her own. Haze was bored with being a mother and wanted more out of life. She missed the excitement she once shared with Fox. His life seemed to be moving on while hers was standing still. It got to the point that both began to wonder about the other and how they were each truly feeling about their current situation.
As time moved on, another murder happened in the community in which they lived, and the story takes off from there. Wow! I would have never guessed I would have loved a story like this but that’s why I love reading because you discover new things about yourself always. Mackay is an exceptional writer and she’s quite hilarious. Again, I’m not sure this story was meant to be funny, but those of us who have been in longstanding relationships will most definitely be able to relate to Haze and Fox.
The Sexy Nerd gives A Serial Killer’s Guide to Marriage five more perpetrators for Haze and Fox to ponder over. This was such a fun read and extremely engaging. I really loved this story. I was so pleasantly surprised. A Serial Killer’s Guide to Marriage goes on sale, Tues., January 14, 2025 at your favorite book retailers or wherever books are sold. If you’re looking to jumpstart your 2025 reading year off right, I most definitely encourage you to read this novel, especially if you’ve been in a long-term relationship.
