Review - A Serial Killer's Guide to Murder by Asia Mackay

A Serial Killer's Guide to Murder by Asia Mackay
Publisher: Headline
Release date: 14 January 2025
Back cover blurb: 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.









A Serial Killer’s Guide to Murder is definitely “different”. But then I knew that it was going to be when I read the blurb..

A book about two Serial Killers married to each other is never going to be a conventional read.

Hazel (Haze) and Fox seem like an ordinary married couple. Nice house, good neighbours, beautiful child. But their lives are not like others. The pair were drawn together by dark pasts. Both of them killing bad men for 

They both know how to get away with murder.

Literally.

When they first met, their relationship was idyllic, both of them excited by the kill. As soon as they found out they were expecting Haze detected an immediate change in Fox. He wants them to stop their killing and become “normal” parents to their daughter.

When Haze meets Jenny at a mother and baby club she is bonded to this stranger in a way that she never has been before. She’s never been one for close female friendships, but the truth is she needs Jenny’s friendship in a way that she never even realised.

She needs a distraction. Because she and Fox made a pact, which lately she has been itching to break. She knows if she kills again it will break her marriage and she doesn’t want to do that.

And then Jenny drops a bombshell which makes Haze question everything she thought she knew about her friend, her own relationship with her husband and where she should go from that moment on….
