描述
A serial killer who has a knack of ridding himself of superfluous wives, but destiny sometimes hangs by a single thread, and it is the slenderest of chances that puts one Arthur Crook in contact with the latest of his galaxy of victims.
'No author is more skilled at making a good story seem brilliant'~Sunday Express
Henry's vocation is being a husband. Like the famous English king with whom he shares his first name, Henry first woos, then weds, then kills his wives.
When he falls in love with orphan Sarah, Henry takes her to a lonely cottage and her initial happiness at being with him soon gives way to some uncomfortable suspicions. But will anyone reach the isolated spot before Henry deems her a little too inquisitive for her own good?
