Description
From the author of Julie Tudor is Not a Psychopath ("wickedly funny and darkly compelling") comes a twisted new thriller following one couple who will do anything to get away with murder, even frame each other.
Daisy Dixon lives in a stately home, but the grandeur on the outside hides a leaking roof, dusty rooms and a failed marriage. But that isn't the only thing she has to worry about now. On the night before she plans to leave her abusive husband, James, Daisy accidentally runs a man over, with James in the passenger seat beside her. But at her husband's behest, instead of calling an ambulance, they take the man home.
When he dies, panic ensues, and the Dixon's do what any sane couple would: bury him in the family mausoleum, on the grounds of their rickety, tumbledown estate.
And that's where he lies, until a storm washes him out into the nearby village.
Her dreams of freedom postponed indefinitely, with James' help, Daisy covers up the crime and together, they seem to be doing a good job of it, until she learns that James has helped the police with their inquiries, and blamed it all on her.
Two can play games, and Daisy is very good at winning. What was once a cover-up is now a race to prison, and Daisy will do anything to make sure James gets their first.

This was my first book to read by this author but it won't be my last! This uniquely written story will stick with you long after you finish it. Can't recommend this one enough!!
Danielle H, Reviewer
Mr. and Mrs. Dixon Hide a Body was a great book, from the beginning, I was drawn to Daisy. I immediately felt sadness for her, she was in a very relatable and realistic situation. I was on her side, immediately! There are moments where I was absolutely livid for her. The relationship between her and James was toxic, at best. I definitely enjoyed this book, the ending was exactly what I wished it to be! I loved it so much!

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for this ARC
This was a dark, sharp, and way more fun than you'd expect from a story about hiding a body.
The story is about a very ordinary married couple who suddenly find themselves in a wildly messy situation. What really makes it work isn't just the crime: it's the marriage. The bickering, the passive-aggressive moments, the quiet resentments... it all feels painfully real, which makes their descent into chaos both hilarious and slightly uncomfortable in the best way. A perfect fun read for summer time.
