I wasn't smashing the patriarchy; I was killing it. Literally.
Hazel and Fox are an ordinary married couple with a baby. Except for one small thing: they're murderers. Well, they used to be. They had it all. An enviable London lifestyle, five-star travels, and plenty of bad men to rid from the world. Then Hazel got pregnant.Now, they’re just another mom-and-dad-and-baby. They gave up vigilante justice for life in the suburbs: arranged play dates instead of body disposals, diapers over daggers, mommy conversations instead of the sweet seduction right before a kill. Hazel finds her new life terribly dull. And the more she forces herself to play her monotonous, predictable role, the more she begins to feel that murderous itch again.Meanwhile, Fox has really taken to being a father. Always the planner, he loves being five steps ahead of everyone and knowing exactly what’s coming around the bend. Plus, if anyone can understand Hazel needing one more kill, it’s Fox. But then Hazel kills someone without telling Fox. And when police show up at their door, Hazel realizes it will take everything she has to keep her family together.
Regarding marriage, the most important thing is open lines of communication. And that is where Haze and Fox had a breakdown. They stopped communicating with each other. We get to hear each of their thoughts as the book is told from equal perspectives of Haze and Fox. I found myself chuckling a lot at Haze's sarcastic nature. And I really liked the way things turned out.
This book is for anybody who enjoyed Santa Clarita Diet or Based on a True Story. Both television shows have husbands who go to extremes to keep their wives safe.
