ClareR (6256 KP) rated A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage in Books
May 6, 2026
Laila is a mother of two, and desperate to move to a better area of London. She wants her husband to get the promotion, her children to be accepted into the expensive private school, and for the dead body in the living room to be somewhere else - and who on earth is he?!
Laila is clever, manipulative, very cold and dangerous. However, everything she does has a domino effect, which results in her having to clear up one inconvenience after another.
This is a twisty, fast paced novel, and the narrator, Perdita Weeks, was perfect in bringing Laila to life. It made the prospect of having a sociopath as a friend an attractive proposition (for the laughs, of course!).

Hazel (2934 KP) rated The War Pianist in Books
Feb 19, 2023
The story is told from the perspectives of the two pianists ... Marnie in London and Connie in Amsterdam. Marnie and Connie are exceptionally strong characters and the author transported me into their worlds amongst the bombs of the blitz and the invasion of the Nazi's where trust can be a dangerous thing.
With oodles of tension, the fear palpable and the bravery and courage of those working against the Nazi war machine excellently portrayed, the War Pianist is a gripping story and whilst this is a work of fiction, it felt authentic and was totally riveting.
Many thanks to Avon Books UK and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The War Pianist.
