Description

Six suburban mothers. A few deadly secrets. And a PTA like no other.
 
Adelaide Walker has built a perfect life in the manicured Southern California town of White Oaks. She’s devoted to her five-year-old son, Tommy, and, on the face of it, is a sweet, hardworking single mom. But what the other moms on the playground don't know is that Adelaide is a serial killer who buried her past—and her victims—years ago.
 
It’s a delicate balance, but Adelaide has it completely under control. That is, until her son starts kindergarten, and she’s sucked into a world of competitive fundraisers, cutthroat playground politics, and a PTA president so objectionable that Adelaide feels her urge to kill reawaken. When a school party ends with the death of another guest, six suburban moms find themselves bound together by a reckless pact: the murder of one deserving target for each of them, to pay for everyone’s silence.

As Adelaide’s two very different lives collide, she’ll have to use every trick in the book to keep her past behind her and her family safe.

A razor-sharp take on the duality of motherhood, People I’d Like to Kill is a wickedly hilarious, deliciously dark thriller about the women no one sees coming…and the terrible things they'll do to keep their secrets safe.
