Review:
The most riveting look at the dark side of marriage since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?...fascinating. It induced nightmares, at least in this reader. No mean feat. (Stephen King)
Book Description:
Adam Ross has crafted a diabolically intricate novel, one that presents all the pleasures and challenges of a well-wrought Sudoku puzzle. There's a whiff of alchemy to the book; you can't quite believe that its many pieces fit together so snugly. Yet they do. Once you've finished, you run your eye back and forth and up and down, and every way you look it adds up. Mr. Peanut is smart, funny,
gripping and - in its ultimate unravelling - sneakily sad.
(Scott Smith)When David Pepin first dreamed of killing his wife, he didn't kill her himself. He dreamed of convenient acts of god.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT. Book as new unread FINE/FINE condition. SIGNED BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. David Pepin has loved his wife since the moment they met, and after thirteen years he still can't imagine living without her - yet he obsessively contemplates her demise. Soon she's dead, and he's both deeply distraught and the prime suspect. The detectives investigating her death have, as it happens, considerable experience with conjugal enigmas. Ward Hastroll was happily, complacently married - until his wife became inexplicably, voluntarily, and militantly bedridden. And Sam Sheppard has for decades been especially sensitive to the intricacies of marital guilt, for the most personal of reasons.When Pepin is linked to a hitman, the ambiguity enfolding this case begins to resemble the Escher drawings that inspire the computer games he designs for a living. These complex, interlocking dramas brilliantly explore the twinned impulses of love and hate, murder and marriage, each endlessly recycling into the other. Mesmerizing, hugely poignant, astonishing in its reach, "Mr. Peanut" is a police procedural of the soul and a first novel of the highest order. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 008964
