Lalla Rook is a genius creation. I absolutely loved it!' Shari Lapena\n\n-\n\nThere's a dead body in my living room.\n\nI've not called the police because it was I who stabbed him. Seven times in all. The truth is, it's surprisingly difficult to dispatch someone with a vegetable knife.\n\nIn case you're wondering, the dead man is not my husband. I do resent our pitiful sex life and his woeful lack of ambition, but I wouldn't murder him for it. Not yet, anyway.\n\nRight now, I have far more pressing concerns: scheming to get my daughter into the perfect school; buying my dream home in Hampstead; and disposing of a corpse.\n\nA woman's work is never done.
