  1. 1. The Wimbledon Poisoner by Nigel Williams

    This book is a darkly comic tale centered around Henry Farr, a suburban solicitor who finds himself deeply dissatisfied with his mundane life and particularly with his wife, Elinor. In a desperate bid for freedom and excitement, Henry decides to embark on a sinister plan to poison Elinor. However, his attempts at murder are far from successful, leading instead to a series of darkly humorous mishaps and unintended consequences. Set against the backdrop of the quintessentially English town of Wimbledon, the story weaves a narrative that is both a satirical look at middle-class England and a comedic exploration of the lengths to which one man will go to escape his life.
