The Perfect Murder (Quick Reads) by Peter James


What constitutes the perfect murder?  Easy.  A no-win or lose-lose situation.

In this case, Victor Smiley met Joan Smiley at a jive dancing class, got smitten and married each other.  Fast forward twenty years.  Both Victor and Joan were not happy at all, rowed often and irritated the hell out of each other.  One day, unbeknownst to each other, they had an idea to top the other partner off and so, they started to plan the perfect murder.

Written in a perfectly simple, clear, uncomplicated and easy to read style plus an excellent plot, twists and turns, cracking characters, wit and attention to detail more usual to a novel than a small book, The Perfect Murder will keep you totally hooked in one seating.  The simple moral of the story is never ever underestimate your enemy!
