Ever wanted to kill someone? Some love stories are all hearts and flowers. If that’s your experience then you can probably buy some chocolate hearts somewhere else. But maybe like James Lash, you ‘panic when happiness closes in’. Or like his wife Vivien, the charismatic artist who could just be a little bit psychotic, you’ve wondered to yourself, ‘Should I laugh out loud, or bite him?’ Maybe you’ve dreamt about plotting an escape with a glamorous outsider, or there’s someone who, hard though you try, keeps on calling you back. In that case this tale of twisted love could be the bedtime story you’ve been waiting for. Described by Carole Morin as ‘Double Indemnity without the insurance policy’, Spying on Strange Men is read by the author, with a chilling contribution from her supporting character, the mysterious James Lash. Like Vivien Lash this story is beautiful, cruel, hilarious and compelling.
