Henry Farr is forty years old. He is suburban, average, conventional – and desperate to be rid of his wife, Elinor. Inspired by a grisly episode in Wimbledon’s local history, Farr begins to concoct a recipe for the perfect murder. But his plans go terribly, terribly wrong – and before long, poor Henry’s best efforts to set himself free, in fact send him spiralling wildly out of control.

Reviews
Nigel Williams's comedy of suburban manners is very, very funny; the writing is sprightly, the caricatures spot on.
The Wimbledon Poisoner is a marvelously funny book.
I laughed aloud sufficiently often over this book that it was necessary to sit in a room on my own to read it.
A brilliantly witty writer.
A very good read, with a few comic set pieces that are comparable to Wodehouse
