The Wimbledon Poisoner taught me the exoticism of suburbia
A very bizarre but amusing book. Some of the dialogue and descriptions made me laugh out loud. A pint mug my dear? Like a lot of other reviewers I first read this novel many years ago, and have revisited it recently, largely entirely because I now live in Wimbledon.

Henry Farr 2 episodes, Chicken Thallium has disastrous results all right, but Eleanor is not the one who dies. Soon, his friends and neighbours begin falling like dominoes and things begin to get out of control as he continues to fail in killing his wife. He needs to stop, not least because DI Rush from over the road has begun hanging around more often than usual, and Henry is sure that his taciturn nature is just a front for what he really suspects is happening in their quiet neighbourhood….
